How to restrict paste to Paste Values only in JavaScript Spreadsheet?
Description
This knowledge base explains how to change the default paste option behavior in JavaScript Spreadsheet.
Solution
It can be achievable by setting the “isPasteValuesOnly” property as true in client side ‘loadComplete’ event. It restricts the paste operation to paste values only in the cells by using the “isPasteValuesOnly” option in Spreadsheet.
[JS]
$("#Spreadsheet").ejSpreadsheet({
sheets: [{
// window.defaultData from http://js.syncfusion.com/demos/web/scripts/xljsondata.min.js file.
dataSource: window.defaultData
}],
loadComplete: "loadComplete"
});
[RAZOR]
@(Html.EJ().Spreadsheet<object>("Spreadsheet")
.Sheets(sheets =>
{
<!-- you can define datasource at server side -->
sheets.Datasource((IEnumerable)ViewBag.DataSource).Add();
})
.ClientSideEvents(
events => events.LoadComplete("loadComplete")
)
)
[ASPX]
<ej:Spreadsheet ID="Spreadsheet" runat="server">
<Sheets>
<ej:Sheet></ej:Sheet><!-- you can define datasource at server side -->
</Sheets>
<ClientSideEvents LoadComplete="loadComplete" />
</ej:Spreadsheet>
[JS]
function loadComplete(args) {
if (!this.isImport) {
// To enable pasteValuesOnly option
this.isPasteValuesOnly = true;
}
}
The below screenshot represents the output of the above code example, after performing the paste operation in Spreadsheet.
