How to customize the NoResultsFound text in the WinUI SfAutoComplete?

In this article, we demonstrate how to set a custom value or template when the user enters invalid input in the WinUI SfAutoComplete control. When the entered text or item does not match with any item in the suggestion list, SfAutoComplete displays a message indicating that no results were found. You can customize this message using the NoResultsFoundContent and NoResultsFoundTemplate properties.

NoResultsFoundContent:

The NoResultsFoundContent property allows you to customize the text displayed when no matching results are found. The following code sample shows how to set the NoResultsFoundContent in the SfAutoComplete control.

<editors:SfAutoComplete  Header="AutoComplete with No Result Found Text" 
                         PlaceholderText="Search a country" 
                         DisplayMemberPath="Country" 
                         TextMemberPath="Country"
                         Width="300"   
                         NoResultsFoundContent="Not Found"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding ContinentList }">
</editors:SfAutoComplete>

NoResultsFoundTemplate:

You can customize the appearance of the message displayed when no results are found by using the NoResultsFoundTemplate property. The following example demonstrates how to use the NoResultsFoundTemplate in the SfAutoComplete control.

<editors:SfAutoComplete  Header="AutoComplete with No Result Found Template"
                          PlaceholderText="Search a country" 
                          DisplayMemberPath="Country" 
                          TextMemberPath="Country"
                          Width="300"    
                          ItemsSource="{Binding ContinentList }">
           <editors:SfAutoComplete.NoResultsFoundTemplate>
               <DataTemplate>
                   <TextBlock Text="Not Found" 
                       Foreground="Red" 
                       FontStyle="Italic" 
                       FontSize="20"  />
               </DataTemplate>
           </editors:SfAutoComplete.NoResultsFoundTemplate>
</editors:SfAutoComplete>
