This string: Kishore VYwas just now copied from a field in a dialogbox, using Ctrl-C, and I pasted it into here. Perhaps you could describe in more detail how this dialog was opened and what is in it that you want to copy. Could it be that the data are from a form that’s set to not allow copying?

Ah. So you have a dialogbox in edit mode and you want to copy the static text from the dialog – not just the data in individual fields.

When a form is in edit mode, it’s not possible to highlight text that’s not in a field – you can only move the cursor around among the fields and other controls on the page, and highlight data within a single field (this is true even if it’s not in a dialog). So it will not be possible to do what you’re asking for unless you can change the design of the dialog form and the code which calls it.

If you can change the design, you could add a “copy” button to the form that assigns a hidden field (as a signal to the calling code) and closes the dialog. The calling code would then notice the hidden field you set and take that as a signal to reopen the dialog form in read mode, not in a dialog, and selectall/copy.

Otherwise, you could use “print screen” button to capture a bitmap snapshot of the dialog.
