  Hi Team,

  I am using wijmo flex grid version (5.20171.282 Eval) with Angular 2.
  
  The grid is editable, I am copying data from excel and pasting it using ctrl+V, it’s working fine. But I want to know, how can I enable pasting using right click and paste.

  Let me know if it is possible.

  Hi,
  
  We are sorry for the late reply.
  
  Unfortunately, there’s no clean/cross-browser way to achieve this.

  In general, browsers only support user-initiated clipboard actions. So if the user presses a keyboard combination that triggers a copy/paste action, you get access to the clipboard.

  But there’s no clean way to access the clipboard in response to arbitrary events such as menu clicks.
