Title: Selecting/Highlighting Text
Post by: logic.cpp on April 18, 2013, 06:15:27 AM

Selecting/Highlighting text in a label (or any other text widget) for further processing of highlighted text - Possible? How?

If not, workaround?

Desired effect: Click & Drag mouse over text causes text background to highlight, any text highlighted becomes available in some variable.
(Currently Unity GUI offers this functionality, with the help of its undocumented TextEditor class)

Not currently possible, but I vaguely remember there being an add-on for NGUI that made it possible. I don't have a link off the top of my head, however.

2 years later, is this possible now ?

If it's an input field you can do it, yes.
