Hi Tun,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion product.

You can achieve your requirement by using the AutoComplete's DropDownClosed event. For more information i have included the code snippet as follows.

[Code Snippet]

this.autoComplete1.DropDownClosed += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PopupClosedEventHandler(this.autoComplete1_DropDownClosed);
private void autoComplete1_DropDownClosed(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PopupClosedEventArgs e)
{
this.textBoxExt1.SelectAll();
}

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
