I am able to emulate Chrome's web address bar (partially) on a TextBox using code from both here and this answer.

On first click, it selects all the the text without showing the blinking caret, the trick is to make the caret show itself when you click a second time on the selected text, which is how Chrome's web address bar behaves.

Here's the code:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool HideCaret(IntPtr hWnd);

private void textBox2_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Kick off SelectAll asyncronously so that it occurs after Click
    BeginInvoke((Action)delegate
    {
        HideCaret(textBox2.Handle); 
        textBox2.SelectAll();              
    });          
}
