# AutoComplete

## Content



[AutoComplete](/componentone/api/xamarin/online-forms/dotnet-api/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Input/C1.Xamarin.Forms.Input.C1AutoComplete.html) is an editable input control designed to show possible text suggestions automatically as the user types text. The control filters a list of pre-defined items dynamically as a user types to provide suggestions that best or completely matches the input. The suggestions that match the user input appear instantly in a drop-down list.

The image given below shows the AutoComplete control showing pre-populated input suggestions in the drop-down list.
