Auto highlight text in a textbox control

In Windows Forms and WPF:

textbox.SelectionStart = 0;
textbox.SelectionLength = textbox.Text.Length;

If you want to do it for your whole WPF application you can do the following: - In the file App.xaml.cs

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        //works for tab into textbox
        EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(TextBox),
            TextBox.GotFocusEvent,
            new RoutedEventHandler(TextBox_GotFocus));
        //works for click textbox
        EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(Window),
            Window.GotMouseCaptureEvent,
            new RoutedEventHandler(Window_MouseCapture));

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }
    private void TextBox_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as TextBox).SelectAll();
    }

    private void Window_MouseCapture(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var textBox = e.OriginalSource as TextBox;
        if (textBox != null)
             textBox.SelectAll(); 
    }
