How to Copy Multiple Cell Values in Flutter DataTable?

In this article, we will show you how to copy multiple cell values in Flutter DataTable.

Initialize the SfDataGrid with the necessary properties. By using SelectionArea, you can copy multiple cell values. Setting SelectionArea as the parent of SfDataGrid allows you to copy the entire cell content to the clipboard by dragging. To achieve this, enable SfDataGrid.shrinkWrapRows to prevent row reuse during scrolling. However, keep in mind that enabling shrinkWrapRows constructs all rows during the initial load.

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Syncfusion Flutter DataGrid'),
      ),
      body: SelectionArea(
        child: SfDataGrid(
          source: employeeDataSource,
          shrinkWrapRows: true,
          columnWidthMode: ColumnWidthMode.fill,
          columns: <GridColumn>[
            GridColumn(
                columnName: 'id',
                label: Container(
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: const Text(
                      'ID',
                    ))),
            GridColumn(
                columnName: 'name',
                label: Container(
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: const Text('Name'))),
            GridColumn(
                columnName: 'designation',
                label: Container(
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: const Text(
                      'Designation',
                      overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                    ))),
            GridColumn(
                columnName: 'salary',
                label: Container(
                    padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: const Text('Salary'))),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
