WPFTextBoxAutoCompleteDerivative

Extends the WPF TextBox control with auto-completion suggestions.
This is based on Nimgoble's WPFTextBoxAutoComplete, and is designed for .NET Core 6

Differences

• Shortened and simplified syntax.
• Commit is now triggered when the textbox loses focus.
• Commit key can be changed from enter to another key.

Usage

• Install the package via NuGet

  	PM> Install-Package WPFTextBoxAutoCompleteDerivative
  

• Add a reference to the library in the .xaml file you want to use it in.

  	xmlns:behaviors="clr-namespace:WPFTextBoxAutoComplete;assembly=WPFTextBoxAutoCompleteDerivative"
  

• Create a textbox and bind the ItemsSource property to any type that implements IEnumerable<String>.

  	<TextBox 
  		Width="250"
  		HorizontalAlignment="Center"
  		Text="{Binding TestText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
  		behaviors:AutoComplete.ItemsSource="{Binding TestItems}"
  	/>
  

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
ItemsSource	IEnumerable<string>	null	Sets the source for auto completion suggestions.
StringComparisonMode	StringComparison	OrdinalIgnoreCase	Changes the string comparison type used when matching user input to possible suggestions.
Prefix	char?	null	When set to a non-null character, that character must be entered by the user for suggestions to appear.
CommitKey	Key	Enter	This changes which key the user should press to select a suggestion.

Examples

Case-Sensitive Matching
```csharp
	<TextBox 
		 Width="250"
		 HorizontalAlignment="Center"
		 Text="{Binding TestText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" 
		 behaviors:AutoComplete.ItemsSource="{StaticResource TestData}"
		 behaviors:AutoComplete.StringComparisonMode="Ordinal"
	/>
```

Requires '@' prefix to show suggestions.
``` csharp
	<TextBox 
		Width="250"
		HorizontalAlignment="Center"
		Text="{Binding TestText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" 
		behaviors:AutoComplete.ItemsSource="{Binding TestItems}"
		behaviors:AutoComplete.Prefix="@"
	/>
```
