As most of you know, the grid provides an extremely convenient mechanism to write out custom HTML in cells, labelFunction and labelFunction2. This gives you complete control over what html you want to appear within each cell. However, with this flexibility comes a little bit of a issue in that the same code is executed when the grid renders the cell, or the cell export or copy mechanism inspect the cells to figure out the text to export or to copy. 

One of our customers was trying to implement the copy cell functionality described in this blog post:

http://blog.htmltreegrid.com/post/Adding-Custom-Right-Click-functionality-to-HTMLTreeGrid.aspx 

However, when they had custom HTML in the cell, there were two issues they encountered:

1.       While using label-Function2, and try to use this Copy cell it is giving below error, And it is not doing anything :

minified-compiled-jquery.js:1300 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'implementsOrExtends' of null

2.       While using Copy Table functionality, It is giving below error, And it is not doing anything:

minified-compiled-jquery.js:472 Uncaught ReferenceError: isIncludedInExport is not defined

 

 In In a nutshell, the problem is this - when you do copy cell, we need to identify which cell your mouse is on. We use the mouse event target to find out which FlexDataGridCell object the mouse event dom element belongs to. In this case, since we have custom HTML within the cell, we need to navigate to the DIV domelement first and then use that to get to the FlexDataGridCell object. Attached is a working test case that demonstrates fix for the above issue.
