| Guest | Selectable non-edittable text? What control should I use to contain selectaable, copyable but read only text? Basically I have a couple lines of databound text that I want the user to be able to select and copy, but not edit, e.g.: Username: Ryan Member Of: Developers I've tried <TextFlow> with <Section> and <TextBlock>, and can display it properly but can't find a way to make the text selectable. Do I have to use a read-only <TextEdit>? I'd like to use Rich tesxt if at all possible. |

| Guest | Re: Selectable non-edittable text? Sorry, I meant <TextBox> not <TextEdit>. Like I said, it can't render rich text so it a far less than deal choice.
