<sf:SfTextInputLayout

                                Margin="5,0,5,0"

                                Hint="Name">

                                <sf:SfTextBoxExt

                                    x:Name="txtItemName"

                                    Width="200"

                                    Margin="0"

                                    cal:Message.Attach="[Event KeyDown] = [Action ItemCode_ItemName_KeyDown($source,$eventArgs)]"

                                    AutoCompleteMode="Suggest"

                                    AutoCompleteSource="{Binding Items}"
