WinUI3: AutoSuggestBox Search Icon Position Offset

[myokeeh]

#5537

The same bug appears to be present in WinUI3. I'm in the process of migrating an app and dismayed that this bug which was fixed in 2.8 is in 3.

I'm seeing this as well. I can work around it by setting the placeholder content presenter's ColumnSpan to 3:

        static MethodInfo getTemplateChildMethod;
        static MethodInfo GetTemplateChildMethod
        {
            get
            {
                if (getTemplateChildMethod == null)
                    getTemplateChildMethod = typeof(AutoSuggestBox).GetMethods(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).SingleOrDefault(m => m.Name == "GetTemplateChild");

                return getTemplateChildMethod;
            }
        }

        static object GetTemplateChild(object control, string id, bool expectResult = true)
        {
            var child = GetTemplateChildMethod.Invoke(control, new object[] { id });
            if (child == null && expectResult)
                throw new InvalidOperationException($"Could not find {id} as a template child");

            return child;
        }

        void AssociatedObject_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            AddProgressBarToChildTemplate();
            var textBox = GetTemplateChild(AssociatedObject, "TextBox");
            var placeholderText = (ContentControl)GetTemplateChild(textBox, "PlaceholderTextContentPresenter");
            Grid.SetColumnSpan(placeholderText, 3);//REVIEW:workitem:14747: WinUI: Remove work-around for AutoSuggestBox bug
        }
