Even if I use one of the copy/paste aware controls, ideally what I want to do is to allow users to drag and select over a range of the screen. That is give the user the freedom to select and copy whatever they want as though they were in a text document/email/word document etc...
eg to pick up a name and 3 address lines in one selection. These are in 4 different controls, so I don't think I can do that anyway with any normal components....

Is there a way around this, or to allow a copy and paste option do I have to either (i) put the data in the clipboard programmatically or (ii) use a different control to display data.
