A question about Label object.

[Kfir Marouani]

Hi,
I'm trying use copy&paste on a text in a lable (simply copy&paste like any
other text) but It doesn't allow me to mark and copy the text.
How can I enable this option?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean in the designer, or at runtime? Labels are for read-only
text - they're not designed to be modifiable by the user. (You can
programmatically modify them, of course - that's a different matter.)

In the designed.
Meaning, I run the windows application and within the form you see a label
with a text. Like "File:". Now I'm trying to mark the text with the mouse
and copy it to the clipboard.

If you're running the application, that's *not* in the designer any
more - that's runtime.

I don't believe labels support cut and paste.

Hi,

As Jon has mentioned, labels at runtime do not support "Cut & Paste".
Replace your label with a TextBox, and set it's ReadOnly property to true,
to achieve the desired functionality. You can mess around with the border
property to get the effect of a label.

Sorry about the mistake. (Run time)
Anyhow I want to copy and paste it somewhere else. Not cut it.
I guess i'll have to use a TextBox object
Thanks for the help!
