All text selection

Hi! Could you tell the right way to make the whole document to be selected as using Ctrl+A shortcut from code-behind?
I tried to do like that:

this.richTextBox.Selection.Select(this.richTextBox.Document.DocumentStart, this.richTextBox.Document.DocumentEnd);


but it is very slow, and i have a problem. The steps are:
- insert hyperlink
- put cursor somewhere after hyperlink
- execute code from above => text selection applied only from that link, not from document begining

Thank you!

As an alternative solution, you can use the AddSelection() of SelectionRanges property. Please find the sample code from following table. Try this at your end and let us know if this helps you. 
//Clear the existing selections.  this.richTextBox.Selection.SelectionRanges.Clear();  //Adds the document start and end position as new selection range.  this.richTextBox.Selection.SelectionRanges.Add(this.richTextBox.Document.DocumentStart, this.richTextBox.Document.DocumentEnd); 
 
 
Best regards,
