I found some AutoComplete TextBoxes, which allow completing the input on-the-fly when typing in.
I am looking for the same, but it should be a TextBox that also allows different input which is not in the list provided with the TextBox, so I can easily add new entries by just typing them in - an AutoSuggest TextBox.
Why not just use a Editable ComboBox in WPF. This will allow for you to have a list of items that you can select by the drop down or autofill when typing but gives you the benefit of free typing in a value also.
For Example:
<ComboBox Name="comboExample" IsEditable="True"> <ComboBoxItem Content="A"/> <ComboBoxItem Content="B"/> <ComboBoxItem Content="C"/> </ComboBox>
If you just want to use the combobox as a textbox then just look at the text property of the combobox, in my example it would look like this in c#: 'comboExample.Text'. If you want to see if it used one of the predefined items, the comboExample.SelectedItem will have an item in it, otherwise if you free typed a new value that property will be null. I know this is not exactly what you asked for but I think it will work for what you are trying to accomplish.
The Syncfusion AutoComplete allows for handling the “Enter” key press and adding the text entered in the control to the collection. Please refer to this sample.
