I have a LC9 field object - just a scrolling field (not a list field) with a lot of text. The user selects some text and then click a button near the field. I want the selection to remain highlighted, but when you click outside the field the highlight goes away.

Any simple solutions to this. Some property I am just blanking on? In another app, I've used the "selectionChanged" message to (1) set the background color of the selection to a highlight color and store the start and end characters as custom properties of the field. I'm hoping there is an easier way I am just missing.

OR

There should be a feature enhancement: set the preserveHighlight of field X to true That keeps the highlighted selection unless or until you make a new one in that field
