I am converting my application from WinFrom to WPF. I want equivalent to WPF of following line of code :

txtbox.SelectionColor = Color.Green;

You need to use SelectionBrush for WPF -

textBox.SelectionBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

Or simply -

textBox.SelectionBrush = Brushes.Green;

Changing textBox highlighted text color is not possible in WPF. Check this out for more details.

However you can achieve that for RixhTextBox though. Details can be found here - Change selected text color in RichTextBox.

That's not possible for TextBox. Check this [out](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10850629/how-to-change-the-highlighted-texts-foreground-color-for-a-wpf-textbox/10850718#10850718). – Rohit Vats Nov 30 '13 at 16:22

just do something like this in your xaml code

 <TextBox SelectionBrush="Green"/>

or in your code behind

   txtBox.SelectionBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

@daniyalahmad if txtbox is a TextBox, look at the Foreground property – kenny Nov 30 '13 at 17:49
