Selectable Text in a TextPanel

[tyler craft]

I have a scrollable text panel set up, and I'm trying to set it up so
that the text can be highlighted (so the user can copy it if they
want).

I tried this:

copy = new TextPanel();
...
copy.textbox.content_txt.selectable = true;

However, I'm still not having luck. In fact, the mouse hand comes up
whenever I'm moused over the content. As though something is on top of
it. However, from looking at the code, I haven't been able to find the
right element to set mouseEnabled to false.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks!

you're so close... :)

copy.textbox.content_txt.mouseEnabled = true;
copy.textbox.content_txt.selectable = true;

TextBox sets those to false by default.

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew i was missing something simple!

One last (hopefully) question on the scroll panel:

How can I set the scroll handle to a fixed size?

I've removed the 9 slice scaling from the library clips.

I've also set the height and the fixed height like so:
scrollPanel.scrollbar.handle.height = 53;
scrollPanel.scrollbar.fixedHandleSize = 53;

It displays correctly initially, however as soon as I drag the handle
it scales it up (it looks like it's scaling it to the amount to
scroll).

Thanks in advance!

This is a question I've been asked before. Sorry, but the
fixedHandleSize property only applies when the component is used as a
Slider. The solution I use for this is to override the handleSize
getter in a subclass.

Ahh.. gotcha.

That worked perfectly. Thanks!
