Description
Which sample are you requesting?
CustomEditControl sample originally found at https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/main/Samples/CustomEditControl
Describe the feature
The old sample worked fine in UWP, but it used some classes like CoreTextServicesManager that are not available in WinUI 3 (see docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/desktop-to-uwp-supported-api).
If we want our biggest customers to migrate to WindowsAppSDK, we need to convert this sample showing how to achieve the same result.
