+## Description
+
+I want to select all text in a cell when entering edit mode in the [DataGrid](https://www.telerik.com/maui-ui/documentation/controls/datagrid/overview) for UI for .NET MAUI, but I can't figure out how to accomplish this.
+
+This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+- How to use `SelectionOnFocus` property in `RadEntry` for DataGrid editing?
+- How to select text automatically in edit mode in DataGrid?
+- How to set implicit style for `RadEntry` in DataGrid?
+
+## Solution
+
+To select all text in a cell during edit mode, set the `SelectionOnFocus` property of the `RadEntry` editor to `SelectAll`. Use an implicit style for the `RadEntry` to apply this property.
+
+1. Define an implicit style for `RadEntry` in the `ContentPage.Resources` section.
+2. Set the `SelectionOnFocus` property to `SelectAll` within the style.
+3. Use the `RadDataGrid` with `UserEditMode` set to `Cell`.
+
+Here is an example implementation:
+
+```xml
+<ContentPage.Resources>
+    <ResourceDictionary>
+        <Style TargetType="telerik:RadEntry">
+            <Setter Property="SelectionOnFocus" Value="SelectAll" />
+        </Style>
+    </ResourceDictionary>
+</ContentPage.Resources>
+
+<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,*" Padding="12">
+    <telerik:RadDataPager x:Name="Pager"
+                          Source="{Binding Items}"
+                          PageSize="10"
+                          Grid.Row="0"/>
+
+    <telerik:RadDataGrid Grid.Row="1" x:Name="grid"
+                         ItemsSource="{Binding PagedSource, Source={x:Reference Pager}}"
+                         AutoGenerateColumns="False"
+                         UserEditMode="Cell">
+        <telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
+            <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Id" HeaderText="ID" CanUserEdit="True"/>
+            <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Name" HeaderText="Name" CanUserEdit="True"/>
+            <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Category" HeaderText="Category" CanUserEdit="False"/>
+            <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Price" HeaderText="Price" CanUserEdit="False"/>
+            <telerik:DataGridBooleanColumn PropertyName="InStock" HeaderText="In Stock" CanUserEdit="False"/>
+        </telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
+    </telerik:RadDataGrid>
+</Grid>
+```
