It's not a simple property, but you can handle the GotFocus event on your TextBox, then use VisualTreeHelper to find the ListBoxItem and select it:

{
    TextBox myTextBox = sender as TextBox;
    DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(myTextBox);
    while (!(parent is ListBoxItem))
    {
        parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);
    }
    ListBoxItem myListBoxItem = parent as ListBoxItem;
    myListBoxItem.IsSelected = true;
}
