1. Win32Lib: How make minimal "file viewer"?

I'd like to make a (simple) minimal file viewer to use in a Win32Lib
program; what I'd like it to do is:

1.  Allow selection of file  to view (I can do this, with the "open file"
dialog);
2.  Read the file & put the contents into a control (I should be able to do
this ok, too);
3.  Allow text SELECTION and COPY (to clipboard) from the viewed file;
    (I see copy to clipboard function, but don't know how to specify some
text is SELECTED)
4.  DISALLOW text entry, paste (into the viewed file), and file save;

The point is to enable VIEWING a file and copying FROM it, without allowing
the file itself to be changed in the process.

Is there a simple way to do this, such as using existing controls, with
alternative parameters set (those arcane style things like: WS_CHILD,
ES_LEFT,ES_MULTILINE)?   I Don't want to have to re-invent the wheel if it's
already been done.
