Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Label Cover Bug

[Dan S. <dy...@fu...>]

The only reason "add cover" was in the original Label was to prevent the text from being selectable.  A layer covering the text is one solution, however this can/should be accomplished with event handling.  As far as I can tell setSelectable() works perfectly fine in Netscape.  It cancels the mouse down event and stops selecting of the test.  There must be an equivalent IE method to do the same.

I'd prefer having the method called "setSelectable" only because it makes more sense of what it accomplishes.
