Creating Custom Text Edit Control

I am trying to create a custom textbox for a windows universal platform app, one that isn't derived from the TextBox class. The reason that I don't want to derive it from TextBox (or RichEditBox for that matter) is that it has its limitations.

I have found this article on MSDN which gives an overview of the Custom Text Input APIs for UWP, but it doesn't explain a lot on how to even get started.

I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with some information that better explains how to create a custom text editing control, or if you could provide me with a sample that would be wonderful.

The official document: Custom text input has been updated and in Related articles you can find a new sample: Custom Edit Control sample.

This sample is newly added in official Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app samples. You can get start by referring to this sample and the official document. For more information about this sample, please see its README.

Besides, there are also another sample: UI.Text.Core-Sample and article written in Japanese that might be helpful.
