Can a text in a TMemo become unselectable and unable to copy lazarus / 10-Designer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Danail · 2007-12-09 09:28 Thanks in regards to all who will post me back. My question is if the text of the memo can be made impossible for copying and changing with active vertical scroll bar, so it can be red. I used the ReadOnly property of the memo, and pasting in the memo was protected, but the text in it still can be copied. I used Memo1.Enabled := False; in the code, and achieved no clicking and copying of the text, but the memo scroll bar become inactive. Is there anything else I can do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antonio · 2007-12-09 14:21 You could use a component which is not a WinControl, like a TLabel. You  could also assign Ctrl+C to another task, etc. Why do you need to do so? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Danail · 2007-12-10 06:14 TLabel can't hold a long text with many lines and do not have a scroll bar. Even referring Ctrl + C to another task the copy- paste with the right click of the mouse remains.
