Select all the text in a textbox on enter

On enter of my Street Text box, I want all the text in the text box to be
selected. At first it works, but if you click with the mouse pointer in the
textbox, and then tab out of the text box, then tab back in, the cursor is
where the last place the user clicked in the text box. I want all the text
in the textbox to be selected.

Handle the GotFocus event and call SelectAll();
