Hi all,

I am having label with following properties.

useHandCursor = true;
buttonMode = true;
mouseChildren = false;

Now I want to select the text of this label also, by setting selectable=true.
I am not able to figure it out how it can be done. Is there any way to do it.

Thanks,
Sudha

You might be able to do it, but it'll be a hacky work-around. You'll need to
add a mouse-down listener to the UITextField inside the Label. Add the
listener with a high priority, so you're sure to get it first.

When your event listener fires, set mouseChildren=true on the Label. This
might allow you to select text. On mouse-up make sure to set mouseChildren
back to false.

Or simply set useHandCursor and buttonMode to true on all of the children of
the label in a loop...
