DiagramView.CopyToClipboard Method (Boolean, Boolean)

Copies the current selection of items to the clipboard.

Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming.WinForms
Assembly: MindFusion.Diagramming.WinForms

 Syntax

C#

public bool CopyToClipboard (
    bool persist,
    bool groups
)

Visual Basic

Public Function CopyToClipboard( _
    persist As Boolean, _
    groups As Boolean _
) As Boolean

 Parameters

persist

true if you want data to remain on the Clipboard after this application exits; otherwise, false.

groups

true to copy item groups; otherwise, false.

 Return Value

true if items were successfully copied; otherwise, false.

 Remarks

Call this method when writing message handler for the Copy command from the Edit menu of your application. MindFusion.Diagramming does not provide keyboard interface for clipboard operations, so you might assign a CTRL+C shortcut to this command.

The first overloaded method simply calls this one, setting false as the value of the groups argument. When calling this method with groups set to true, only the first level of groups attached to selected items are copied. In that case, the subordinated items included in the groups are copied too.
