Description

DoCopyToClipboard is an overridden method in TCustomDBGrid used to copy the field value for the selected column and row in the grid to the clipboard. No actions are performed in the method when the linked dataset is not active.

DoCopyToClipboard calls GetFieldFromGridColumn to get the field definition for the current column in the grid. If the field is not Nil (unassigned), the String value for the field is stored to the global Clipboard instance using its AsText method.

DoCopyToClipboard re-implements the method from the ancestor class.
