Answer 1

You don't specify for what you need autocomplete, but I think you have to use MRUEdit instead of TextBox.

Answer 2

In fact you can easily do it :

var tx = TextEditMoveTo.MaskBox;

AutoCompleteStringCollection customSource = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
customSource.Add("Yes");
customSource.Add("You");
customSource.Add("Can");

tx.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
tx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
tx.AutoCompleteCustomSource = customSource;

And it works like a charm :)
