Hi Richard,

When the instance of your NSTextField subclass becomes first responder, you 
have access to the NSText object (the field editor) and I believe you can use 
its methods to select the text. (I don't see why you can't, but since I haven't 
tried it myself, I'm saying "I believe.")
Sincerely,Joel
Override - (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder in your subclass.
Get the field editor:
NSText * itsText = [[self window] fieldEditor:YES forObject:self];
Use -selectAll or -setSelectedRange
