I had placed the style you had in generic.xaml in my App.xaml instead, and then nothing was displayed. Why can´t I have it in App.xaml? I got it to work.

If I put it as is in my project I get the following error in the Populated method: "The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Microsoft.Windows.Controls.VisualTreeExtensions.GetLogicalChildrenBreadthFirst(System.Windows.FrameworkElement)' and 'Microsoft.Windows.Controls.VisualTreeExtensions.GetLogicalChildrenBreadthFirst(System.Windows.FrameworkElement)'" But if I don´t supply it, I get this: "Soe.Silverlight.UserControls.SOEAutoCompleteBox' does not contain a definition for 'GetLogicalChildrenBreadthFirst' and no extension method 'GetLogicalChildrenBreadthFirst' accepting a first argument of type 'Soe.Silverlight.UserControls.SOEAutoCompleteBox' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

So I think this is something that will become more common requirement in apps I work on. Great post Jeff,
