You need to capture that keystroke and do the select all yourself.

Here is some C# code for use with a RichTextBox:

    protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        // Ctrl-A does a Select All in the editor window
        if (e.Control && (e.KeyCode == Keys.A))
        {
            this.SelectAll();
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }

Sorry, I don't have Win32 code for you.
