Disabled ValDisplay or SetVariable, but value or text selectable

Fri, 09/07/2012 - 12:02 pm

Hello,

Does anyone know how to make a control in a panel that will display a value or string, but not allow the user to edit AND be selectable in order to be able to copy/paste? A great example is the IGOR Data Browser; you can select the "Curent Data Folder" text field and copy/paste, but you cannot type into the field.

Thanks,

Dan

Unfortunately, you can't. It's something I've wanted, also. I think that should change in Igor 7, but that's not coming soon.

could you make a work-around?

copy the variable you want into a second variable, and display this one. then code the field so that if the user changes the value, it reloads the old value?
ugly, but semi-workable..

That's too bad it is not an available option. I do like your work-around though daggaz, I'll try that out!

Thanks,

Dan
