Select on Focus
Updated on Jul 8, 2026
The TextBox supports automatically selecting its entire value when the user focuses the component. This behavior improves data-entry workflows where users typically replace the existing value rather than edit it.
Enabling Select on Focus
To enable automatic value selection on focus, set the selectOnFocus property to true. When the user clicks or tabs into the TextBox, the current value is highlighted in full.
The following example demonstrates the TextBox with selectOnFocus enabled.
