Best way to insert custom item in the filtered list?

[Alexandre]

Hi,

I use the autocompletebox, which have a list of country as ItemsSource. From this autocompletebox, I would have the possibility to add a new country, which is not in the current list. To do that, I want to have a custom item in the filtered list, which do something special and is selectable as an other item of the list.

I have the idea to add a special item in the ItemsSource and change the template of this special item with a TemplateSelector, but I would like to know if it exists a best way to do that?

I have attached a picture to illustrate what I would like to do.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Alexandre,

It seems the approach you choose to use and came up with is a fine one. However, we also suggest you to check the following example from our online XAML SDK Repository which demonstrates how to add new items by using a Button:
https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/tree/master/AutoCompleteBox/AddNewItemsWithButton

Hopes this helps.
