Select text in TextField on Double Click in Flutter Windows App

Is there an option to select the text written in TextFormField or TextField on double clicking the field in a Windows App made in Flutter?

Because currently it only works if the text is double clicked, whereas normally in windows application clicking anywhere in the text field selects the entire text written.

You Dont need any other extra Widgets. Its pretty simple,You can use onTap property inside of TextField:

TextField(
   controller: _controller,
   onTap: () {
     _controller.selection = TextSelection(baseOffset: 0, extentOffset: _controller.text.length);
   }
)

Put your TextField inside GestureDetector

GestureDetector(
   onDoubleTap:() {
     if(_controller.text.isNotEmpty) {
       _controller.selection = TextSelection(baseOffset: 0, extentOffset:_controller.text.length);
     }
   },
   child: TextField(controller: _controller, ),
)

Wrap the textfield with an inkwell to provide a double tap. Then on double tap set the selection of the textfield

InkWell(
 onDoubleTap:(){
   setState((){
      _textController.selection = TextSelection(baseOffset:0, extentOffset: _textController.text.length);
   });
  },
 child:TextField(
  controller: _textController,
 )
)
