Re howto put non-editable in a textctrl

Hello Josiah,

It works almost fine. My last problem is that
wx.TextDropTarget seems
not to work with wxTE_RICH2.
I'd be fine if I could disable DnD entirely for the
control.
Any ideas?

thanks

Create your own drag and drop target, make it reject any
drop events. 
(there are example drop targets in the demo)  For dragging
out, you can
handle wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, and wx.EVT_MOTION
to select
text rather than drag it.
