A client of mine wants students using our RB-made program to be able to
SELECT text in an EditField, but does not want them to be able to DRAG
that text onto an outside program such as a text editor to save the text.

This is so the students can have a "highlight" feature in the program, but
it less friendly to run through the entire question set compiling a
cheatsheet.

I have the editfield as read-only, and I have it so they cannot copy to
the clipboard. However, I can still select and drag to a text editor.

If I "disable" the editfield, it doesn't look right and long questions
cannot be scrolled, but also I can no longer select.

I thought I might just make a "highlight" feature in the window, so the
window would intercept mouse clicks / drags over the editfield, and the
window would draw a highlight box as the student clicks / drags. However,
I thought I'd throw this to the list first.

Doing a search in archives finds a similar question from a time ago, but
no answer.

Thanks for your time,
Paul K
