QLabel text not selectble even when i set Qt::TextSelectableByMouse inside QStyledIte

[umen]

Thanks for all , i know i did wrong with the QLabel but
im trying to make text that is selectable , it doesn't have to be Label , i before that used to drow simple text but didn't found any way to make it selectable
like this:

painter->save();
    painter->setFont(smallerBoldFont);
    if (!isSelected && !isActive)
        painter->setPen(QPen(option.palette.brush(QPalette::Mid), 0));
    QString authorString = pStreamItem->author();
    QSizeF authorStringSize(QFontMetrics(painter->font()).size( Qt::TextSingleLine, authorString ) );
    textLoc.setX(textLoc.x() + publishedStringSize.width() + PADDING);
    QRectF authorTextBox( textLoc , authorStringSize);
    painter->drawText(authorTextBox, Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignTop, authorString);	
    painter->restore();

painter->save();
    painter->setFont(smallerBoldFont);
    if (!isSelected && !isActive)
        painter->setPen(QPen(option.palette.brush(QPalette::Mid), 0));
    QString authorString = pStreamItem->author();
    QSizeF authorStringSize(QFontMetrics(painter->font()).size( Qt::TextSingleLine, authorString ) );
    textLoc.setX(textLoc.x() + publishedStringSize.width() + PADDING);
    QRectF authorTextBox( textLoc , authorStringSize);
    painter->drawText(authorTextBox, Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignTop, authorString);	
    painter->restore();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Why you're using painter in the first place?
Don't.

Use QLineEdit and set it to read only but don't paint it anywhere, leave it to Qt!
Just parent it to widget you want it appear in.
You can manipulate background palette to make it blend with the parent widget if you want.
