Hi,
Currently ignite ui grid allow to copy the content when row selection not enabled. But when the row selection enabled it doesn't allow to copy the content from the grid.
Is any workaround there to fix it or any property there to enable the copy content?
Thanks,

Hello Ponprabhu,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics!
Can you clarify how you are copying when selection is disabled? The reason I ask is because browsers prevent access to the clipboard from JavaScript for security reasons. As such the grid doesn’t support copy and paste. Are you in edit mode when you are copying? Or are you highlighting the text with mouse? If either of those is the case that is a function of the computer’s clipboard and not the browser and not something the igGrid has any interaction with and what you are seeing is the expected behavior.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply,
Kindly go to the below url, row selection disabled grid is there and you can see it allow to copy content, it works in all browsers
http://www.igniteui.com/grid/json-binding
then go to the below url, row selection enabled grid, but this one not allow to copy
http://www.igniteui.com/grid/overview
Hope you got the issue,
Thank you for the update. The behavior you are seeing is the expected behavior. When you highlight the text of the cells in the grid by dragging the mouse and then copying that is not a function of the grid. And when selection is enabled the combination of the hover and selection styles prevent the highlight of individual characters to copy them.
Thanks for your response,
I understand that this is the common behavior of ignite ui grid, Is any option there to work it out. Allow the content to copy from grid when selection enabled?
