Question

I have tried the below code to select all text in textbox when focus. But this is not working.

XAML:

Answer 1

You could use the dispatcher:

private void TextBox_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;
    textBox.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => textBox.SelectAll()));
}

Answer 2

in App.xaml file

<Application.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="TextBox">
        <EventSetter Event="GotKeyboardFocus" Handler="TextBox_GotKeyboardFocus"/>
    </Style>
</Application.Resources>

in App.xaml.cs file

private void TextBox_GotKeyboardFocus(Object sender, KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs e)
{
    TextBox tb = (TextBox)sender;
    tb.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => tb.SelectAll()));
}

With this code you reach all TextBox in your Application
