Allow Spreadsheets to Perform Clipboard Operations

August 2, 2024
Enhance Angular spreadsheet applications with the ability to cut, copy and paste data, streamlining data manipulation and management tasks.

A spreadsheet control that supports clipboard operations gives users the ability to cut, copy and paste data within or between spreadsheets. These functions enable users to efficiently transfer, duplicate, or relocate information by temporarily storing selected cells or ranges in a system-wide clipboard. This functionality forms a key part of a spreadsheet application, saving time and increasing productivity by enabling quick duplication or relocation of data without the need to manually re-enter information. By reducing the risk of errors that might occur during manual data entry or reformatting, these operations help maintain data integrity and streamline data manipulation and management tasks.

Several Angular spreadsheet components support the use of clipboard operations, including:

  • SpreadJS by MESCIUS is a complete JavaScript spreadsheet solution with full support for Angular that allows users to easily perform clipboard operations.
  • Jspreadsheet Pro facilitates clipboard integration into Angular applications, providing seamless data transfer with intuitive cut, copy, and paste functionalities.
  • Infragistics Spreadsheet Angular (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) is a lightweight component that enables users to perform cut, copy, and paste clipboard operations.
