Automatic editing of WPF datagrid content when datagrid-cell gets focus

Question

I have a datagrid in WPF with a DataGridTextColum and a DataGridTemplateColum.

Answer 1

This approach works for me. It uses the fact that the DataGrid will always create a new instance of the template when the editing starts:

and in the code behind:

private void TextBox_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ((TextBox)sender).Focus();
    ((TextBox)sender).SelectAll();
}

As an added bonus, it also selects all text in the cell. It should work no matter how you enter the editing mode (double click, single click, pressing F2)
