How to make a TextBox to take input starting with a lower case letter?

Question

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 Application.

I have a TextBox in it.

<TextBox />

As soon as I tap on the TextBox I want the normal alphabet layout to open but with the first letter starting with lowercase unlike default which starts with uppercase. I tried changing various InputScopes. It didn't work. Am I doing something wrong.

I would be glad if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in Advance.

You may use:

<TextBox IsTextPredictionEnabled="False" IsSpellCheckEnabled="False"/>

As it is said at MSDN:

Auto-capitalization: enabled if IsSpellCheckEnabled = true, disabled if IsSpellCheckEnabled = false

Thanks a lot. I couldn't relate capitalization to spell checking. MS could have done this in a better way I guess. But this worked. Thanks again. – Bequeath

IsTextPredictionEnabled="False" is not required right? – Bequeath

@vivekp It depends on you - try it. When prediction is enabled it will show some words with capitalized letter - for example names. – Almeda

Got it. I was just saying that wouldn't be a required field if I just wanted to have lower case. – Bequeath
