| Copy, Tabulation and Search features in RAP widgets [message #1802005] |

Hi,
we are trying to provide the following features in RAP Labels or Text widgets (the browser is only IE10 and IE11):
- select and copy a value
- skip widgets with Tabulation
- search values (Ctrl-F or F3)
what we found is:
- Labels are highlighted when searching (F3), but do not have context menus with e.g. Copy, do not provide value selection and gets no selection when Tab is pressed
- Texts have context menus (with e.g. Copy), provide value selection, are selected when Tab is pressed, but are not highlighted when searching
Is there a way to have all these features in the same widget, e.g. by setting some properties or with some special CSS attribute?
Deeper question: what makes an HTML element searchable and selectable?
Thank you
Vincenzo

Hi Chris,
thank you for your answer!
Ok, I realize I didn't explain our goal with proper attention.
Consider this page: if you press Ctrl-F and type something, e.g. "RAP" you'll see several html elements highlighted (searchable feature).
You can also select (dragging the mouse over it or double clicking) these or other html elements, right-click the selection and have a context menu that allows you to copy that selection (selectable feature).
I now used the term "html element" (not Label or Text) just to make it clear that the two behaviours above are valid for virtually any kind of html content (label, text, textarea, links, etc..).
Our customers are just demanding to have these same behaviours in a RAP application as well as they have in a generic web application.
Since in our application we have several read-only data, we used Labels, but Labels are not selectable in the way explained above.
For that reason we tried to replace Labels with read-only Texts, which provide this feature, but lack the previous one.
In the end we just would like to know how to offer, with RAP (which we like a lot!), the same user experience offered by a generic web application.
Thank you
