How to copy DataGrid cell value to clipboard

I have a DataGrid. But I want to get focused cell value in CopyingRowClipboardContent event. But e.ClipboardRowContent returns me all selected cells values because of the SelectionUnit. And i must not change selection unit of datagrid. For solving the problem i need to get focused cell column number. Then I will remove all column values from clipboarcContent. How can i get focused cell in CopyingRowClipboardContent event?

I found that this solution worked for me on all DataGrids; even ones that had hidden columns.

// Clipboard Row content only includes entries for visible cells
// Figure out the actual column we are looking for (taking into account hidden columns)
int columnIndex = dataGrid.CurrentCell.Column.DisplayIndex;
var column = dataGrid.Columns[columnIndex];

// Find the associated column we're interested in from the clipboard row content
var cellContent = clipboardRowContent.Where(item => item.Column == column).First();
clipboardRowContent.Clear();
clipboardRowContent.Add(cellContent);

I find the solution. First of all I have needed column number of the focused cell. I have managed to get it with this code:

DataGridResults.CurrentCell.Column.DisplayIndex;

Then in CopyingRowClipboardContent event, I must delete all other column values.

private void DataGridResults_CopyingRowClipboardContent(object sender, DataGridRowClipboardEventArgs e)
{
    int y = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < e.EndColumnDisplayIndex; i++)
    {
        if (i != DataGridResults.CurrentCell.Column.DisplayIndex)
        {
            e.ClipboardRowContent.RemoveAt(i - y);
            y++;
        }
    }
}

Improved version of Farhad's answer

private void DataGrid_CopyingRowClipboardContent(object sender, DataGridRowClipboardEventArgs e)
{
    var currentCell = e.ClipboardRowContent[ dataGrid.CurrentCell.Column.DisplayIndex];
    e.ClipboardRowContent.Clear();
    e.ClipboardRowContent.Add( currentCell );
}

You can also use the following code in order control clipboard content.

Clipboard.SetText("some value");
