I have a hack if there isn't an elegent solution:

Style the XamTextEditor to call an event when edit mode starts:

<my:Field Name="Name">
<my:Field.Settings>
<my:FieldSettings EditorType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
<my:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
<EventSetter Event="EditModeStarted" Handler="EditStarted" />
</Style>
</my:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
</my:FieldSettings>
</my:Field.Settings>
</my:Field>

Then in the event handler, walk the visual tree to find the TextBox that's hanging off XamTextEditor, and set the AcceptReturns property:

public void EditStarted(object sender, EditModeStartedEventArgs e)
{
 TextBox b = (TextBox)VisualTreeWalker.FindFirst((Visual)e.Source, typeof(TextBox));
 b.AcceptsReturn = true;
}

I haven't included VisualTreeWalker here, but it's simple enough code.

Any better solution?

Thanks,

John

• creating a Style that targets TextBox and contains a Setter for the AcceptsReturn property
• adding that style to the Resources of the xamTextEditor
