SelectionLength Property Not Applied to Entry at Runtime

[NirmalKumarYuvaraj]

Description

The SelectionLength property in the Entry control is not being applied at runtime as expected. When attempting to set the SelectionLength dynamically, the changes do not reflect in the Entry control's text selection.

code snippet:

entry.Focused += (sender, e) =>
            {
                entry.SelectionLength = 3;
                Debug.WriteLine("entry.Focused");
            };

<Entry x:Name="entry" Text="Microsoft Maui Entry"></Entry>

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new .NET MAUI App.
2. Add an Entry control to the XAML.
3. Wire the focused event of the Entry and set the SelectionLength property at runtime when the Entry receives focus.
