Not a day without a bug

One more evident blunder. In DataGridView there is Russian text, I select everything, copy and paste to в Excel - instead of the text I see hieroglyphs.

The problem again is quite famous. It's amazing that a correct solution "out of the box" has not been googled at once, just common advices - "look here, look there".

Though indeed just coding of a text, putting into the clipboard should be indicated right.

private void dataGridView_FixCopyEncoding_OnKeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{

    DataGridView dataGrid = sender as DataGridView;
    if (dataGrid != null && (e.KeyCode == Keys.Insert 
                     || (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.C)))
    {
        if (dataGrid.GetCellCount(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) > 0)
        {
            string content = dataGrid.GetClipboardContent().GetText();
            Clipboard.SetText(content, TextDataFormat.UnicodeText);
        }
    }
}

If somebody wishes to make a little bit more correct of course it is better to inherit and redefine DataGridView.GetClipboardContent().


I was very surprised when saw that on RightCtrl-Insert press two messages come instead of one. The first is e.Control == false && e.KeyCode = LButton | ShiftKey and the second is e.Control == false && e.KeyCode = Insert.
