Select text in disabled TextItem

[jiri.ov]

Hi all,
I have DynamicForm which contains some TextItem fields. Some from this input fields are disabled and I would like to select text (by mouse) in this disabled input fields.It is possible?
I found that SelectItem contains attribute canSelectText but TextItem not.
May by I overlook something.

Thanks a lot.

I have same problem, but only in Firefox. Is it bug?

I have TextItem in DynamicForm (with absolute layout and can select text=true), and if a set DynamicForm.isDisabled(true), than TextItem is disabled, but in Firefox not selectable.

I have the same problem, a want to select and copy text from disabled items with 'Ctr+C' or 'right click' and 'Copy'. Did you find something?

I need to do the same. Any solutions out there? Thanks!

If you use a TextItem but setCanEdit(false), the text is selectable and be can be copied and pasted.

Sorry. Forgot to mention that I'm using SmartGWT 2.5p. I don't see TextItem.setCanEdit(). Is there another way in 2.5p?

In older versions, you can using a non-disabled TextItem but adding a ChangeHandler than just cancel()s all changes. You can setTextBoxStyle("textItemDisabled") to still make the item appear disabled.

You could add a changeHandler which always cancels the change event.
Or you could set the item to be marked as disabled (which will give you disabled styling as well)

Thanks! I added the ChangeHandler and set the TextBoxStyle to textItemDisabled. But when I clicked on the disabled TextItem, it looked like it would when a user edits it (i.e., no gray text). So I created a textItemDisabledFocus style using the textItemDisabled style and put it into my own css file.
