Or to select the end of the text in the EditText, you can use the code from Klaus:

B4X:

EditText1.Text = "Test"
EditText1.RequestFocus
EditText1.SelectionStart = EditText1.Text.Length

It was not SelectAll. I finally found it. It would be RequestFocus.
The TextBox (EditText) can be selected with TextBox.Select() in .NET. Why is RequestFocus() on B4A?

B4X:

Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)
    If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
        EditText1.Enabled=True
        IME.ShowKeyboard(EditText1)
        EditText1.RequestFocus()
    Else
        EditText1.Enabled=False
        EditText1.Text = ""
        Spinner1.Visible=False
    End If
End Sub

Why is Select() in .Net?

Because B4A is not a M$ product like VS

B4A: Textbox1.RequestFocus
VB.NET: Textbox1.Focus()

IMO, RequestFocus in B4A is more powerful as it returns True if the focus was set.
