font issue

[ghost1372]

using MS Gothic font is not good option, this is my output

You should resolve this issue without changing the font.

Hi @ghost1372! Thanks for checking it out! I totally agree with you. I was going to find a way to get the whole width of the input text and use it to offset the Placeholder. I found a few ways to get the width but those were a bit tricky and I wanted this to be as simple as possible. I'll take another look but if you have something in mind, I'd appreciate the help😁

I guess I need to wait for this issue (microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#808). There seems to be a difference in the rendering between TextBoxes and TexBlocks.

tnx
Can we use TextBox instead of the TextBlock? mybe with a little change in style we can make it look like a TextBlock

[AndrewKeepCoding]

I followed your suggestion and created a branch. But instead of changing the style, which will be ending pulling the whole TextBox style, I added a TextBox control programmatically. I'll be checking a few things but I think I'll be updating the NuGet package in a day. Thanks again 😀

tnx but it seems that suggestion is not working

[AndrewKeepCoding]

That's weird. I tested it on a new WinUI 3 project and worked without problems. This is the code.
XAML

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
    <Button x:Name="myButton" Click="myButton_Click">Click Me</Button>
    <winui3:AutoCompleteTextBox SuggestionsSource="{x:Bind DemoSuggestions, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</StackPanel>

*.cs

public sealed partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private List<string> DemoSuggestions { get; } = new();

    public MainWindow()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
        DemoSuggestions.Add("Ted Mosby");
        DemoSuggestions.Add("Marshal Eriksen");
        DemoSuggestions.Add("Barney Stinson");
    }

    private void myButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        myButton.Content = "Clicked";
    }
}

Can you try setting IsSuggestionCaseSensitive to false and make sure SuggestionsSource is binded correctly? Ex) missing Mode=OneWay on x:Bind, etc...

Hi @AndrewKeepCoding sorry for late response. I used your codes and this is result:

1. I cant see suggestion!
2. Foreground property is not working
3. pressing Right Key from keyboard is working and select suggestion but i cant see suggestion itself

[AndrewKeepCoding]

Finally I got to reproduce the problem by changing my Windows to the Light mode.

These are the facts so far (Windows 11):

• Foreground is not working when the control is Focused on both Light mode and Dark mode.
  This turned out to be normal behavior...😂
• It's not showing the suggestion on Light mode.
• Not sure if SuggestionForeground is working on Light mode.
  This is working fine. I could see it by setting Background to Transparent.

Created new issue #3. Closing this. @ghost1372 see you there.
