I would also like to see this implemented, but as an additional
"SelectableLabel" control, to avoid side effects (ellipsise, ...).
I also had to use the non editable TextField hack way to often.

Hi Dirk,
This would be great. It's a feature I miss.
On my scenario (we do a POS pharmacy software) users want to copy
things such as product code/barcode, description, etc.
I think it's not a trivial task to develop this, since labels can
wrap, ellipsise. They are inside tables and other components.
Some countries have user information protection laws, so it should not
always be enabled.

Hi everyone,
I recently added a custom text control (called “TextView") to the
GemsFX project. It supports a somewhat limited text selection.
Selection is only possible on a per-word basis. I received a bit
of feedback on this control and I was wondering whether it would
be worth thinking about adding a general text selection capability
to labels. Is this something worth looking into? Is it even feasible?
I guess one of the reasons why this topic keeps popping up is the
fact that users are so used to selecting any text in web pages,
but they can’t do it in desktop apps.
