The **AutoComplete** control allows you to filter item list as you type, and select a value directly from its drop-down list. The control makes it easier for a user to search and filter a specific data field(s) from a pre-populated list.

The AutoComplete control below uses a string array as its itemsSource. For example, you type 'au' and it gives countries in the search results that have 'au' string in their names.
