Have you looked into converting the Form (Selected area) to a canvas.
I can't remember how to do this (many years since I looked into this area) - I think you can print
the form to a file that may give the canvas or there are functions to convert the form to a canvas -
It may be as easy as just looking at the Form.Canvas.
HTH
This may give some new direction or ideas...

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....

For Data, you should be using StaticText. Labels are not for
dynamic information. I still dont know if Copy/Paste will work... but it
is the more appropriate component for your purpose.

With data displayed in labels on a form or data displayed in
stringlists (read only) there seems no way to use the clipboard to
copy and paste data. 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.
