How to paste copied rows to the empty UWP DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
1 min read
By default, SfDataGrid does not allows you to paste the records when grid is empty. You can achieve this by overriding OnAttached method in SfDataGrid class.
public class SfDataGridBehavior : Behavior<SfDataGrid> { protected override void OnAttached() { base.OnAttached(); this.AssociatedObject.GridCopyPaste = new CustomCopyPaste(this.AssociatedObject); this.AssociatedObject.SelectionController = new CustomGridSelectionController(this.AssociatedObject); this.AssociatedObject.Loaded += AssociatedObject_Loaded; } private void AssociatedObject_Loaded(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.RoutedEventArgs e) { this.AssociatedObject.GetVisualContainer().PointerReleased += SfDataGridBehavior_PointerReleased; } private async void SfDataGridBehavior_PointerReleased(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs e) { await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => { if (this.AssociatedObject.View != null && this.AssociatedObject.View.Records.Count == 0) { this.AssociatedObject.Focus(Windows.UI.Xaml.FocusState.Programmatic); } }); } }
