Close keyboard on tapping on Enter

I use the toolkit for Windows Phone 8 and have a page with a AutoCompleteBox.

Now I want to close the keyboard if user writes something into the AutoCompleteBox without selecting a present item (meens user typed in a different text) and commits the text with "Return".

How can this be done?

You can close the keyboard using a KeyUp event handler and then selecting Focus() of the current page:

void textBox_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // if the enter key is pressed
    if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
    {
        // focus the page in order to remove focus from the text box
        // and hide the soft keyboard
        this.Focus();
    }
}

You could do something like this,

<AutoCompleteBox Name="Input" KeyUp="Input_KeyUp" FontSize="40">
        <AutoCompleteBox .InputScope>
            <InputScope>
                <InputScopeName />
            </InputScope>
         </AutoCompleteBox .InputScope>
  </AutoCompleteBox >

And on event,

private void Input_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
    {
        this.Focus();
    }
}
