Silverlight - Multiline textbox - Alt + Enter Issue

Question

Hello All,

I am stuck with the small issue...

I am using Silverlight.

I have a textbox with multiline property true. and i want the facillity that when user press "ALT + Enter" then cursor should move to the next line.

I have already set the properties like AcceptsReturn, TextWrapping. But it is not working :(

Can anyone please shed some light on this?

Thanks, Mahesh

Here is sample code:

Style x:Key="MultilineTextBoxCellStyle" TargetType="TextBox"> Setter Property="AcceptsReturn" Value="True"/> Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/> Setter Property="Height" Value="100"/> Setter Property="Page:MultilineTextboxScrollbar.MyVsbv" Value="Auto" />

I am giving this style to dynamic created textbox: Which is in grid view ....

dataColumn.EditorSettings = new TextBoxEditorSettings(); dataColumn.EditorSettings.CellEditStyle = (Style)this.Resources["MultilineTextBoxCellStyle"];

THanks, Mahesh

Alt + Enter in a silverlight single line textbox actually makes IE 8 switch to fullscreen mode. Also, in my book allowing Silverlight applications to override browser shortcuts would be a serious security issue...
