What you want to do is display only the suggestions that apply for the given input. Not all possible strings.
Lets assume you have the following AutoSuggestBox:
<AutoSuggestBox
TextChanged="AutoSuggestBox_TextChanged"
SuggestionChosen="AutoSuggestBox_SuggestionChosen">
<AutoSuggestBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</AutoSuggestBox.ItemTemplate>
</AutoSuggestBox>
These are the event handlers:
private void AutoSuggestBox_TextChanged(AutoSuggestBox sender, AutoSuggestBoxTextChangedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Reason == AutoSuggestionBoxTextChangeReason.UserInput)
{
// You can set a threshold when to start looking for suggestions
if (sender.Text.Length > 3)
{
sender.ItemsSource = getSuggestions(sender.Text);
}
else {
sender.ItemsSource = new List<String> { };
}
}
}
All you have to do is to write a getSuggestions(String text) method that returns plausible suggestions for a given input.
