Copy DataGrid Row to Clipboard

[ShrutiJaiswal1494]

I have a Datagrid with Context Menu to allow user to copy DataGrid Row and Cell values to Clipboard. Currently I am using the DataGridCellPointerPressedEventArgs event to extract the row and cell information. I get to copy the cell value to clipboard using the below code. However, I am not sure how to copy single/ multiple Row with/without Headers to clipboard. I tried including ClipboardCopyMode="IncludeHeader" in my xaml but that isn't copying anything. Is there any way to do that?

private void CopyRow(object sender, DataGridCellPointerPressedEventArgs e)
        {
            var dataGrid = sender as DataGrid;
            var currentRow = e.Row;
            var currentCell = e.Cell.Content as TextBlock;
            Application.Current.Clipboard.SetTextAsync(currentCell.Text);
        }

You could access underlying VM item that is bound to a row and use it instead of getting data from the Content. Alternatively you could pass SelectedItems via converter (as well as current ClipboardCopyMode) to your VM and set text from there.

It gives you additional abilities to format text easily etc.

@FoggyFinder Thanks for the reply. Apart from the row I also need the selected cell value. Is there a way to get the selected cell value in View model? I tried binding to CurrentColumn Property of DataGrid but that was throwing error as Avalonia was not able to detect this property.

Nope, sadly there is no such thing like SelectionUnit yet. As soon as it will be implemented there will be easy way to do it. Right now I'm unsure how to do it properly since none of my applications required it.
