Hello, I edited Your project and placed the AutoCompleteEntry element in my own ContentViews to add my properties (HeaderProperty, ListOfItemsProperty, TxtProperty). Unfortunately, I am solving a problem with the TextProperty property binding.
NewPage1ViewModel is used on the NewPage1.xaml page, where in the constructor I set the default value this.Text01 = "The default value of the Text01 property when the VM is initialized";, unfortunately, this value is not written when the application starts in the required <controls:AutoCompleteEntryContentView Header="Vehicle brand:" Txt="{Binding Text01, Mode=TwoWay}" ListOfItems="{Binding ListItemText01, Mode=TwoWay}" ></controls:AutoCompleteEntryContentView>.
Unfortunately, binding to the Txt item is broken. The txt entry is set 2x when the project is started, the first time with the correct text from the VM and the second time as an empty string.
Can someone help me with this problem?

My mistake, this can be deleted

Hi @zleao ,

Thank you so much for producing this component. Really very useful. However, I have a problem that can perhaps be solved and for this reason I ask for your help.
When an element is selected, the classic X appears to cancel the selection just made. Would it be possible to delete it and disable this option?

Let me know

Thank you again

On both iOS and Android, whenever I tap outside of the keyboard, the keyboard does not close. This is not a big deal on Android because the done button and the built in down arrow both work to close the keyboard. However, on iOS, there is no way to close the keyboard due to the issue of the done button also not working (#10).

I've found that this component doesn't work well when I am calling an API to get filtered results before updating the observable collection. Is that intended?

When some text has already been added and a user taps somewhere in the middle of the text and starts typing, it will immediately jump at the end of the text.

And the CursorPosition of the entry is always 0 and cannot be changed programmatically.

private void LocalAutoCompleteEntry_TextChanged(object sender, zoft.MauiExtensions.Controls.AutoCompleteEntryTextChangedEventArgs e)
{
  if (sender is zoft.MauiExtensions.Controls.AutoCompleteEntry entry && e.Reason == zoft.MauiExtensions.Controls.AutoCompleteEntryTextChangeReason.UserInput)
  {
    var test = entry.CursorPosition;
  }
}

It's happening on Anrdoid, didn't test it on iOS yet.

Hello, may I ask how to adjust the spacing between options？thank u.

Impossible to get past the following error on start:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.'

I understand this has to do with a kind of "circular binding" (perhaps not the right phrase) because the modified by adding FilteredList feeds to the binding??

Surely, there must be a workaround for this issue and wondering what you suggest. Otherwise this is a great contribution.

With thanks.

On Android when I press the "done" button on the keyboard, the keyboard is closed. On iOS, this does not happen. Pressing "done" does nothing on iOS.

There is no way to close the keyboard due to the other issue of clicking outside of the keyboard also not closing the keyboard. (#9)

What a beautiful control.. but I wonder if there's any plan to add multi-selection support. Selections would appear in the entry field as "chips" or "tokens" (not sure what the preferred terminology is). There would be an option to allow manual entry of an item not found in ItemsSource. But by default, text entry in this mode would only drive autocomplete.

When navigating to a page using tab bar that has autocompleteentry the app crashes. It says platformview cannot be null

Hi, this is my entry, it's inside DataTemplate of CollectionView

<zoft:AutoCompleteEntry
 Grid.Column="0"
 Margin="5"
 DisplayMemberPath="nomeCognome"
 FontAttributes="Bold"
 FontSize="{markups:OnScreenSize
 Medium='10',
 Large='15',
 ExtraLarge='25'}"
 ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AsbItemsource, Mode=OneWay}"
 Text="{Binding Path=Name, Mode=TwoWay}"
 TextChangedCommand="{Binding Path=TextChangedCommand, Mode=OneWay}"
 TextMemberPath="nomeCognome"
/>

It works fine when I insert data. But if I attach the new ItemSource already filled with information AutoCompleteEntry will not display the text. Basically If I change field "Name" from code behind entry will not dispaly it. How to achive this? Thank you.
