The autoSelect property sets or returns whether lines in a locked field highlight automatically in response to a mouseDown event and to dragging or shit-clicking (Such fields are called list fields). Automatic highlighting occurs if autoSelect, lockText, multipleLines and dontWrap are all set to true. AutoSelect is set to false when dontWrap is set to false; dontWrap is set to true when autoSelect is set to true. To learn which lines are selected, get the selectedLine of field.
