WPF Combobox auto complete/intellisense case sensitivity

Question

I am writing a WPF app that has a combo box in it that is populated with a list of names. The problem I face is that the auto complete/intellisense feature ignores case sensitivity. Is there a property in the control or a work around to enable case sensitivity on the auto complete/intellisense.

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is not a simple property to enable case sensitivity, you would have to implement your own auto-complete to replace or supplement the built-in functionality.

Fortunately, others have done this and there are a few examples out there if you wish to go down this road:
