word suggestions control for windows phone 8 - windows-phone-8

Does anyone know how to implement a word suggestion popup menu so that when you type letters it will open up popu menu and suggest words that you can choose from and when chosen you can continue typing much like the word suggestion in for example text messages.
This feature is already in windows phone 8 if you put the input scope for Textblock to Text but the problem is that you can't input your own words to the dictionary programatically.
I was also looking at the autocomplete for windows phone 8 toolkit but the problem there is that you can't continue typing after you have selected the word from list. Any idea how to modify that control so that you can do it ?
Thanks,
Jani

iOS App Verified Anchor Link Allowing to Call or Text

I have a list of phone numbers on my iOS App - all consisting of a simple table layout, with the normal 123-123-1234 syntax. However, one of the phone numbers has a different menu popping up within my iOS App - in that, it's showing a verified number and allowing a user to text or call the number.
Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance!

In google app script editor, the autocomplete feature works with semi column instead of the point

I'm Guillaume a french beginner in google app script editor.
I have a problem with autocomplete feature. It would works with the dot (.) and in my case, autocomplete works with semi column (;) or crtl+space but it's not easy to use.
It mean that autocomplete displays something when I "close" a command or a line.
How can I change that please ?
I tried to change the language of the editor in English but it's the same problem.
It looks like there is an issue with AZERTY keyboards. A work-around would be changing your keyboard layout to english, like US. You can click on the star next to the issue number (at top) to subscribe and give more priority to the report.

Remove smiley button from on screen keyboard in Windows 10

I've checked all of the input scopes from InputScopeNameValue enumeration while trying to get rid of smiley button, but it always stays there. In some cases the concept of a "smile" and corresponding Unicode characters are not really welcome as an input for specific text field.
Is there any other way to remove it from the keyboard?
a good news for you. A new InputScope called ChatWithoutEmoji has been released in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition Build 14332 SDK. Check out this blog post on Windows Blogs. Hope this will solve your problem.
There is no way to remove the smiley with the available inputscopes for Windows 10. They all have the smiley included.

PhoneTextBox cursor resets after applying text suggestion

I'm using the PhoneTextBox from the Windows Phone Toolkit with InputScope="Text" to get autocorrect and text suggestions. While typing in the keyboard the text suggestions appears above the keyboard and I choose one of them. Immediately after the suggestion is taken the cursor of the TextBox resets to the start position. So if I continue typing then the new text is inserted at the beginning of the TextBox.
Here's an example: After choosing the text suggestion "Tests" the cursor begin of line.
EDIT:
The issue is caused by an calling of BindingExpression.UpdateSource() within the TextChanged event handler. I can't find a workaround so I created an issue: https://phone.codeplex.com/workitem/11766
I'm using a Windows 8 phone with the regular Phone 8.0 SDK.
<toolkit:PhoneTextBox InputScope="Text" BorderThickness="0,0,0,3" Background="{x:Null}" Foreground="White"/>
It works fine on my end. I would check if there are any attached events (maybe TextChanged) that would cause the cursor to reset.
