Please check where you have placed it… Try putting the code above in

       -(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
        {
           [textField selectAll:self];

         }

And also txt must be UITextField. Also do not forget to set the delegate for txt as

        txt.delegate = self;

where you have declared it and add UITextFieldDelegate in .h as

       @interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>

This will definitely work….It worked for me..
