Yes it does, you can ctrl+c or right click and get to it from
that menu. It
works in all Windows edit boxes.
The dialog box itself is not an edit box, and copy simply does
not work. (Just tried it again.) You cannot copy ANY text from
it, even the highlighted text.
This really blows when you've got a message window with an
error message in it, and you cannot copy it to google it. You
cannot copy the "About" dialog box text, either, so you have to
painfully type in the version/build number when filing a bug
report.
Unbelievable.
Dear Walter,
Pressing Ctrl-C in any *standard* dialog will copy the text to
clipboard since Windows 2000, even captions and buttons.
