Called when user copies selected records to clipboard (ctrl+c or cmd+c).
onCopy = function(event)
The normal behavior is to copy the text to the clipboard. You can add event listener during the object creation: $('#grid').w2grid({ name : 'grid', columns: [ { field: 'recid', caption: 'ID', size: '50px' }, { field: 'lname', caption: 'Last Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'fname', caption: 'First Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'email', caption: 'Email', size: '40%' }, { field: 'sdate', caption: 'End Date', size: '120px' } ], records: [ { recid: 1, fname: 'John', lname: 'doe', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '1/3/2012' }, { recid: 2, fname: 'Stuart', lname: 'Motzart', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '2/4/2012' }, { recid: 3, fname: 'Jin', lname: 'Franson', email: '--', sdate: '4/23/2012' }, { recid: 4, fname: 'Susan', lname: 'Ottie', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '5/3/2012' }, { recid: 5, fname: 'Kelly', lname: 'Silver', email: 'jdoe@gmail.com', sdate: '4/3/2012' }, { recid: 6, fname: 'Francis', lname: 'Gatos', email: 'vitali@gmail.com', sdate: '2/5/2012' } ], onCopy: function(event) { console.log('Text to copy to clipboard', event.text); } }); or after the object has been created: w2ui.grid.on('copy', function(event) { console.log('Original text to copy to clipboard was', event.text); event.text = 'My Text'; }); The event handler is called before the default action of the event is triggered. You can cancel the default action by calling event.preventDefault(). To perform an action after the event is fully processed, define event.onComplete function.
