Vista - 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.

Did you try a TextBox with IsReadOnly="true"?

HTH,

Sorry, I meant <TextBox> not <TextEdit>. Like I said, it can't render rich
text so it a far less than deal choice.

No, but that's exactly what I was looking for, can't believe I missed that.

Thanks,
