How to reroute click event to a double click?

Question

I'm trying to reroute a Click event to act like a Double Click instead. For example if I double click a TextBox it will select all the text so you can edit, I want a single click to do the same.

Is it possible to reroute events like this and if so how does one do so? Thanks!

Extract method from your Double Click event handler method, implement Click event and invoke that extracted method. — Marcin Zablocki, Jul 22 '15 at 14:47

Inside the single click event handler, do the following:

var newMouseEvent = new MouseButtonEventArgs(Mouse.PrimaryDevice, 0, MouseButton.Left) 
{ 
    RoutedEvent = Control.MouseDoubleClickEvent
};
myTextBox.RaiseEvent(newMouseEvent);
