Now that Silverlight 3 has shipped, Jeff Wilcox would like to take a moment to
revisit the highlighting AutoCompleteBox control that he
blogged about back in November of ‘08.
This short post re-creates the HighlightingTextBlock control, using the Templated Silverlight Control item template that ships in the Silverlight Tools. When I last blogged about the highlighting text block control, I had to describe in detail how to go about creating a library, creating the default control styles file (Generic.xaml), setting properties, and putting it all together.
Using the same steps and control template XAML from this post, you can create a Visual Basic implementation of the control alternatively.
