If place a file on your desktop, right click and select 'Properties',
you get a dialog box with things such as type of file, location, size
etc.

This information is selectable with a cursor and can be copied to the
clipboard.

Is this type of thing possible in a windows form type application
without using a TextBox type control? If so - how?

I'd like the text in my application to have similar properties.

Basically it's a read-only textbox with no border and no tabstop.
