Is there a property that can select all text in a textbox when tabbing? Here is the textbox property code:

ASP.NET

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxFTUG" runat="server" Width="180px" AutoPostBack="True" ontextchanged="TextBoxFTUG_TextChanged">0</asp:TextBox>

I don't know what is "tabbing". Selection of the text is unrelated to tab control. You can select the text on whatever event you need to use. (In some cases, this is a good idea to do so.)

Ok, Is there a textbox property to do this or do I need a code behind?

Please see my answer. The problem can be solved on the client side in JavaScript. This would be a right way to do it.
