I’m trying to automatically select an entire line in a multiline WPF textbox. So if the user clicks on a word on Line 3, the entirety of Line 3 is selected. Any ideas?

WPF TextBox SelectionStart on MSDN
The easiest way is to take this value and iterate backwards in the content of the TextBox until count hits 0 or
\n \r\n \rand then forwards until text size or\n \r\n \r. After that set the current selection to these boundaries.
