Alex, Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to sharpen up my coding skills and try to create something.
Most users expect to be able to highlight selected text from a table of data to make quick copy/paste actions. I'm a bit surprised this functionality was left out of the datagrid component. Thanks again for your help.

You'd have to track the mouse and set the text's selection appropriately or just draw your own selection rectangle and compute the selected text yourself. Another problem is that the right-click cut/copy/paste is only going to work on one textfield. > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stuartward > Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 11:51 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Text selection on DataGrid cells > > > Is there a way to allow for selecting text within a cell (or across > several cells in a row) in a DataGrid by clicking and dragging with the > mouse and the cursor highlighting the selected text?
