copied!<p>Took me some time to answer this question, so here's how I did it to save someone else time:</p> <p>Function to copy the data to the clipboard, it also solves the problem of getting the rows in the right order in the resultant string:</p> <pre><code>void copy_selected() { if (listview.SelectedItems.Count != 0) { //where MyType is a custom datatype and the listview is bound to a //List<MyType> called original_list_bound_to_the_listview List<MyType> selected = new List<MyType>(); var sb = new StringBuilder(); foreach(MyType s in listview.SelectedItems) selected.Add(s); foreach(MyType s in original_list_bound_to_the_listview) if (selected.Contains(s)) sb.AppendLine(s.ToString());//or whatever format you want try { System.Windows.Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.Text, sb.ToString()); } catch (COMException) { MessageBox.Show("Sorry, unable to copy surveys to the clipboard. Try again."); } } } </code></pre> <p>I still have occasional issues with the a COMException when I copy stuff to the clipboard, hence the try-catch. I seem to have solved this (in a very bad and lazy fashion) by sort of clearing the clipboard, see below.</p> <p>And to bind this to Ctrl + C</p> <pre><code>void add_copy_handle() { ExecutedRoutedEventHandler handler = (sender_, arg_) => { copy_selected(); }; var command = new RoutedCommand("Copy", typeof(GridView)); command.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.C, ModifierKeys.Control, "Copy")); listview.CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(command, handler)); try { System.Windows.Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.Text, ""); } catch (COMException) { } } </code></pre> <p>which is called from:</p> <pre><code>public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); add_copy_handle(); } </code></pre> <p>Obviously this is copied a lot from the link above, just simplified but I hope it's useful.</p>
