You have to set IsEditable true.

Am I correct in assuming that Textsearch in a combobox gives me a text input box at the top of the Combobox that filters out when I type in?
If so I do not understand why it's not working. I got a combobox with it's itemssource bound to a ListCollectionView through the DataContext. I the set IsTextSearchEnabled to true and set TextSearch.TextPath to a property of the object type in the ListCollectionView
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PersonCollection}" TextSearch.TextPath="Name" DisplayMemberPath="Name" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" > </ComboBox>
However I never get any inputbox.
The property defo works as that is displayed as I did set in DisplayMemberPath.
Am I assuming wrong and if so how does text search work?
