How to Control Click Event Of A Textbox Array?

I am using VB 2010. I have 20 TextBox controls in my form. I turned them to TextBox array.

Here is the code:

Dim TbArray(19) As TextBox
Private Sub Form7_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, 
      ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    TbArray(0) = TextBox1
    TbArray(1) = TextBox2
    ...
    TbArray(19) = TextBox20

It works properly. I want my program to select all the text on the TextBox control which got focused.

How can i know which TextBox control has been selected? I mean there is no Private Sub TbArray(i)_GotFocus in the dropdown menu of vb designer.

To expound on what Akram said,

For x = 0 to 19
   AddHandler tbarray(x).GotFocus, AddressOf TextBox_GotFocus
Next x

Private Sub TextBox_GotFocus(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim tb As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
    tb.SelectAll()
End Sub

So you want the text inside the TextBox to get highlighted when it gets focus? Sounds like a job for JavaScript to me. Should be fairly simple using jQuery or something similar

Handle the TextBox.GotFocus event of all the TextBox controls using one event handler method. Use the following:

Dim focusedTextBox as TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
