Re: The selectedText for controls without focus

For a scriptless solution that's purely property-driven, what Jacque said covers normal click-and-drag selection at the small cost of multi-click selection. And if you need multi-click selection and don't mind a small bit of scripting, putting this in a normal editable field seems to make it

The difference is, turning traversal off, rather than setting the locktext to true doesn't work. Even if one manages to hilite text in the non-traversable field, it isn't really selected. (Which is why if it were me I'd not do it that way) On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 1:35 PM, Richard Gaskin via
