Text Selections in Grid cell

[SantaBarbarian]

Are the Ext 2.2 threads no longer read or do I need to post in a different location?

You either need to change templates.cell in the prototype or in your instance, but there is no need to do both.

Do you mean you can select text, but you can't copy it or can't you even select text?

First of all, thanks for the response. I hope that this helps clarify.

I am able to select entire rows (say rows 1-10) in a grid (the cells in each row contain text), then I hit ctr-c to copy but I am unable to paste to say notepad.

It is pasted into my grid as follows:

    var grid = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({
    viewConfig: {
        templates: {
            cell: new Ext.Template(
                '<td class="x-grid3-col x-grid3-cell x-grid3-td-{id} x-selectable {css}" style="{style}" tabIndex="0" {cellAttr}>',
                '<div class="x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-{id}" {attr}>{value}</div>',
                '</td>'
            )
        }
    },
        store: store,
        columns: columns
...

This change makes text selectable. That means you have to select it using mouse drag and not by selecting multiple rows.

Thank you for clearing up my misconception. Is there a way to make a selectable portion of the contents of a grid copyable so that it can be pasted elsewhere?

The code worked in IE 8 but did not work in FF 3.6.3. Am I missing something?

[SantaBarbarian]

Perhaps that is why it didn't work for me - I'm using firefox 3.6.3.

I am using a basic grid along with gridPlugin for checkboxes in my page.
In one of my column have hyper links. So when ever I click on a link, checkbox gets selected and takes to that page.
I am aware of GridPlugin uses CheckboxSelectionModel which is extended from RowSelectionModel.

Is there any work around to have CellSelectionModel and CheckboxSelectionModel?

[SantaBarbarian]

What I am trying (and failing so far) to accomplish is make it so that a user can copy and paste the contents of a grid to another window, excel file, etc.

There is an ExportToExcel plugin (name might be wrong) somewhere on this site to click a button and the table gets exported as Excel file. I have yet to use it, but was planning on trying it at some point. Sounds like you might be able to use that instead...
