What do you mean highlight the textbox? Highlight a certain word in the box? Change the background color of the textbox?

    Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.GotFocus
        TextBox1.SelectionStart = 0
        TextBox1.SelectionLength = TextBox1.Text.Length
    End Sub

Worked for me. Hope this helps.
