Cannot Clear Text Programatically

First off, AMAZING product! Very easy to set up and get right to using.

That being said, I am running into an issue where I cannot clear/remove the text from the field through code - the only way is to manually delete the characters through the keyboard.

I have tried the following AutoSuggestBox.Text = string.Empty AutoSuggestBox.Text = "" AutoSuggestBox.SetValue(AutoSuggestBox.TextProperty, string.Empty); AutoSuggestBox.SetValue(AutoSuggestBox.TextProperty, "");

@dotMorten, is there something that I am not doing right? I do not have any variable bindings. If not. could you please take a look at what could be causing this issue.

Thanks! Zach

Aaah I see! Luckily this was fixed with commit https://github.com/dotMorten/XamarinFormsControls/commit/6aae1dafc6fb2564ac15b08fd6e27e9afc4583bf 😄

Here’s a simple repro using your version 0.5.0. If you set a breakpoint on the Text setter in the main page, you’ll see that after the page assigns a value to the property, the AutoSuggestBox turns around and sets it to String.Empty via the two-way binding.

(Context: my goal is to simply to assign an initial value to the AutoSuggestBox’s text.)
