How to access textbox's select function in Autocompletebox


I am trying to place the cursor at the end of the text in textbox inside Microsoft.Phone.Controls.AutoCompleteBox. how can i do this?

It is strange that AutoCompleteBox has Focus function but no function for Select.


Solution

  • It's pretty much explained on this blog

    Basically, it comes down to getting the inner TextBox

    var textbox = GetTemplateChild("Text") as TextBox;
    

    And then from there you can easily do whatever you would otherwise do with a TextBox.
