Labels the user can select and copy text from
« on: May 24, 2016, 07:58:38 am »
Hi,

I've seen around, on windows and may be other OSes, readonly labels the user can select text and copy from, but I don't find in LCL an equivalent. I've also tried Statictext.

Does someone know how to implement this, possibly in a portable way?

TLabel is inherited from TGraphicControl not TWinControl, so it cannot receive focus. I would try TEdit with the following properties:
      ReadOnly --> True
      Color --> BtnFace
      BorderStyle --> bsNone

Yup. Go for Getmem's suggestion. Note you should also hide the cursor.
You can still select the text and C/P

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.
