I want to prohibit the user to select text in QPlainTextEdit Area using mouse button. The text can only selected by code(such as QPlainTextEdit::find() ).
Is this possible?

@Mr-Pang
You may try this.
```
    ui->plainTextEdit->setTextInteractionFlags(Qt::TextEditable);
```
or you may do it in the designer under property textInteractionFlags
--Alles ist gut.
