<p>I would also like to see this implemented, but as an additional
"SelectableLabel" control, to avoid side effects (ellipsise, ...).<br>

everyone,<br>
<br>
I recently added a custom text control (called “TextView") to
the GemsFX project. It supports a somewhat limited text
selection. Selection is only possible on a per-word basis. I
received a bit of feedback on this control and I was wondering
whether it would be worth thinking about adding a general text
selection capability to labels. Is this something worth
looking into? Is it even feasible? <br>
<br>
I guess one of the reasons why this topic keeps popping up is
the fact that users are so used to selecting any text in web
pages, but they can’t do it in desktop apps.<br>
