Seems like this could easily be accomplished with a WrapPanel with a template containing a textblock and button. The sample app pretty much is this, but with remove as the button instead of the x button

[nmetulev]

Agree, doesn't seem like a control would provide much more than what @skendrot has suggested

[Odonno]

@skendrot @nmetulev And what about the Autocomplete feature at the end of the control?

[skendrot]

Put an AutoSuggestBox as the last item

Something like this?

[deanchalk]

Any of the controls in the Community Toolkit can be recreated by just plonking XAML in a page and wiring up the code-behind. The idea of a control is to make it reusable and easy to use. Many chips control include properties to control the maximum and other features.

[skendrot]

Yes, but we also need to factor in how often a control will be used. If someone is creating a blogging app, sure it's needed. What other apps can benefit from this feature?
I know there is a good use case for a control. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it has a good use case for being in a toolkit.

[deanchalk]

ok @skendrot if I create one can I put a link to the repo here? so that anyone else that comes here wont ultimately be disappointed ?

[skendrot]

Of course!

[deanchalk]

A bit 'rough and ready', but a reasonable start

Whats the status? @deanchalk are you planning to send a PR?

[kbrons]

Closing the issue due to inactivity and availability of the control outside the toolkit.
