Copy / Paste issue

[flaviolenzParticipant]

Just a usefull info: (maybe jqwidgets would like to fix that)

I’ve set a ‘paste’ eventListener to a Textarea element (nothing related to the Grid)
document.getElementById(‘txt’).addEventListener(‘paste’, f);
Strangelly, when I was trying the Ctrl-C, element ‘txt’ was already gone (itsParent.innerHTML = ”) which was supposed to remove all Listeners of the element.

After this, Ctrl-C stopped working if I was not editing the cell.
Ctrl-V was OK.

After a lot of struggle, I discovered an workaround that if I explicitly remove the event to that same element, Ctrl-C was OK.
document.getElementById(‘txt’).removeEventListener(‘paste’, f);

Hello flaviolenz,

Please, provide us with more details.
What is your case and what do you want to achieve?
I tested this demo and it seems to work fine:
https://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxtextarea/defaultfunctionality.htm?light-ie
You could try to bind to the paste event on that way too:
$("#jqxTextArea").find("textarea").on("paste", event => console.log("paste", event));
I hope this will help.
