Multilines for autocomplete

[issam]

hi,
does the autocomplete control support multilines input ?

if not, please suggest me the appropriate way to handle this .
the user have to select from multiple paragraphs (2/3 lines each max), so after the first key press he/she should have some suggetions based on input .


any help is welcome .
thanks and good day .

Hi,
many thaks for the sample .

but it just a little further than that, my bad i didn't give more details.

in my early prototyping i have used a combobox with IsEditable Property Enabled bound to an ObservableCollection<BusinessObject> .

so i have some sort of autocomplete with that .
when the user leave the focus of that combobox , it test if there is a valid selected BusinessObject, if not, it append a new one based o the combobox text entered and add it to the ObservableCollection .

this work for simple texts, but not for multilines one .since when the user type the return character it leave the edition momde of the combobox .

so the goal is to have a multiline "autocomplete" control that accept return input, if it would be possible

that's it :)
