I have noticed that Autocomplete stops working when you set a TextBox to
Multiline. Is this the designed behavior? Is there any way to make it work,
other than developing your own custom control? I would also like to see a
behavior where the list of suggested items resets after each space, so in
other words you could use Autocomplete multiple times in the same TextBox.

Do I have to start developing my own control for this?

Yes, this is by design. However, you could subclass the TextBox and
override the design. Take a look at the TextBox class in the Reflector
utility from http://www.aisto.com/roeder/
