how to enable copy from a disabled TextBox in IE with GWT?

I'd like to have a disabled TextBox that the users cannot edit, but still copy from. I've tried both setReadOnly(true) and setEnabled(false), separately. Firefox seems to work as desired; the textbox is disabled but users can still copy the value to the clipboard. IE the disabled textbox has a greyed-out background and you can't copy to the clipboard.

Try using HtmlPanel, HTML widget or something else for just wrapping the text since you are marking it as read only, and just give a style to it in order to it looks like a TextBox.
