I have a page where many AutoComplete controls are used. Selecting a value in one must select a value in another. We know that this value is selected by setting Text property (through object binding), but by doing this, suggestion view shows up.
I test many tweaks with ShowSuggestionView property, SuggestMode, or whatever, and there is no proper way to achieve the behavior I want.

Regards

Currently it is not possible to initialize the tokens of the autocomplete so the UI shows already selected tokens.
This is necessary to use the control for a CREATE/EDIT scenario.

Example:
- Create an event (party) and select all the friends from the autocompelte (another issue is that already selected tokens cannot be removed from the suggestion list)
- Save the event
- Edit the event => now you would need to see the already selected friends so you can add and remove some

In addition to the string property for NoResultsMessage, add support for using a DataTemplate as well.

Similar to the UWP AutoCompleteBox functionality - http://docs.telerik.com/windows-universal/controls/radautocompletebox/features/autocompletebox-webservice-support

Currently SuggestionView is displayed when the text is updated and the control is focused. There are cases when users need to explicitly set the Text of the control and open the view with the filtered items.

Currently users are not aware when a token gets selected/deselected.

Allow users to define custom filtering logic, for example, to search in a few properties.

Allow customers to easily take the user input and trigger custom searching algorithm and assign the results to the ItemSource of the AutoComplete.

As to the concrete feature go to: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/xamarin/controls/autocompleteview/autocompleteview-methods

Add TextChanged and Completed events when the user enters characters in to the input area.

There does not seem to be an easy way to modify the custom message shown when no result is found in the AutoComplete control. We can expose a property similar to the Watermark one. 

Edit: Avalable in R3 2017 SP release.

Currently the Text property can only be get. Expose it as setter as well.
