How to enable Copy from a read-only EditControl?

Question

It seems that after setting EditControl.IsReadOnly=true, the user can no longer copy text from the control to the clipboard.

Does anyone know of a way to enable the copy functionality while preventing the user from changing the text in the control?

Thanks for your reply.  I probably should have specified that we are experiencing the problem with the WPF version of the control, not the Windows Forms version.  We are using Syncfusion Essential Studio 9.4.0.62.
