Prevent paste in cellbeginedit of a jqxgrid

[GThireauParticipant]

Hi,

Is it possible to prevent a paste event in “cellbeginedit” of a jqxgrid?
I would allow copying and limit pasting.
For this I set the clipboard attribute of the jqxgrid to true.

I implement the cellbeginedit of all columns with this function to limit input:

 var cellbeginedit = function (row, datafield, columntype, value) {
                   // some code
                    if (condition) return false;
}

This works well except when we pasting data.

So I also implement the cellbeginedit of my jqxgrid like that:

$('#jqxgrid').on('cellbeginedit', function (event) {
                    var args = event.args;
                   // some code
                   // ...
                  if ( condition) {
                       // event.preventDefault() ;
                       // return false ;
                   }
});

I’m catching the past event, i can detect if my condition is true but I’m unable to “prevent” the paste event.

I would like to bee able to prevent the cellbeginedit event and cancel the change of the cell value.

Is it possible ?
Could you help me on this?
Thank you.

Hi GThireau,

Try catching the paste event in the grid, something like that:

$(‘#jqxgrid’).on(‘paste’, function (event) {
return false;
});

Best Regards,

Hi Ivo Zhulev,

Unfortunately it doesn’t work, actually this doesn’t catch any paste event.

Furthermore, if they were, how can I know in which cells the past is triggered ?

Because this is those ‘target’ cells which define if I have to prevent or not the paste.

Regards.
