Is it possible to enable the PlayBook's long-press popup menu in a WebWorks / BBUI app which allows us to cut, copy, select all, paste (etc.) in text fields?

Most "standard" apps seems to support the option. Long--press the URL in the browser for example, and you're given the usual text options. But in my WebWorks app, the most I can get is the single pointer thingie which lets me choose where to start typing. But no double pointers for selecting, no long-press popup of text options.

Am I missing something obvious?

So I just implemented copy/paste for my webworks app. *Huge thanks to Will Robertson for posting up the solution! *

Apparently, all you have to do is change a couple settings in a configuration file from 'false' to 'true' to allow selecting and copy/paste. *Then, after you compile and deploy your app, you should get this functionality within all apps that you compile. *I just implemented it for my app and it works great (at least on the simulator).

*

Basically, just make sure the following two environment variables are set to true in the file "path_to_your_sdk/bbwp/AirAppTemplates/src?/blackberry-tablet.xml"

*

<env var="WEBKIT_CONTEXT_MENU_SUPPORTED" value="true"/>

<env var="WEBKIT_SELECTION_SUPPORTED" value="true"/>?
