Topic: copytoclipboard

Hi Dmitry,
A bit of help, please.
I know I can copy ALL rows in a tablegrid to the clipboard by right-clicking and selecting Copy All - Shift+Ctrl+C.
To make it easier for users, I would like to automate all of this by clicking a button instead.  I have tried to do this using 'SelectAll' and then 'CopyToClipboard' but this only seem to work with 'edit' fields.  Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
If this can't be done using 'CopyToClipboard', is it possible to send 'right-click' followed by 'Shift+Ctrl+c' by script instead?
I hope I've explained this clearly enough and thanks for your help.
Regards,
Derek.

Hi Dmitry,
Perfect - much more straightforward now for the user.
Thanks.
Derek.
.
(for general info' - depending on your set-up,  it might not always be form1.tablegrid1.dbpopupmenu.items[5].click.  For example, on my version, it's  form1.tablegrid1.dbpopupmenu.items[4].click)
