Default "Outlok like" control - users(contacts) resolving

If autocomplete or autosuggest is what you want in a textbox you have to
implement that yourself. As each Change event fires for the control you
would take the text as it is then and do a search in contacts folders and
aggregate those that match the text you have. You'd have to present them in
some sort of dialog or popup and then repeat for each new character entered.

If you want an underline format to apply on to parts of the text I don't
think you can do that in a normal textbox. You might be able to in a rich
text textbox, I'm not sure since I almost never use those. Or you'd have to
hunt around for a control that meets your requirements from some 3rd party
vendor.
