In RadGridView with a TextBoxColumn. Set WrapText, Multiline and AcceptsReturn to true If adding a new line, the return gives another new line instead of staying within the cell. Workaround: Create a new behavior class: //VB Class MyNewRowBehavior Inherits GridNewRowBehavior Protected Overrides Function ProcessEnterKey(keys As KeyEventArgs) As Boolean If Me.GridControl.IsInEditMode AndAlso Me.GridControl.CurrentColumn.Name = "TextBoxColumn" Then Dim editor As RadTextBoxEditor = TryCast(Me.GridControl.ActiveEditor, RadTextBoxEditor) Dim element As RadTextBoxEditorElement = DirectCast(editor.EditorElement, RadTextBoxEditorElement) element.Text.Insert(element.Text.Length, Environment.NewLine) Return True Else Return MyBase.ProcessEnterKey(keys) End If End Function End Class //C# class MyNewRowBehavior : GridNewRowBehavior { protected override bool ProcessEnterKey(KeyEventArgs keys) { if (this.GridControl.IsInEditMode && this.GridControl.CurrentColumn.Name == "TextBoxColumn") { RadTextBoxEditor editor = this.GridControl.ActiveEditor as RadTextBoxEditor; RadTextBoxEditorElement element = (RadTextBoxEditorElement)editor.EditorElement; element.Text.Insert(element.Text.Length, Environment.NewLine); return true; } else { return base.ProcessEnterKey(keys); } } } then unregister the old behavior and register the new one: //VB DirectCast(radGridView1.GridBehavior, BaseGridBehavior).UnregisterBehavior(GetType(GridViewNewRowInfo)) DirectCast(radGridView1.GridBehavior, BaseGridBehavior).RegisterBehavior(GetType(GridViewNewRowInfo), New MyNewRowBehavior()) //C# ((BaseGridBehavior)radGridView1.GridBehavior).UnregisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewNewRowInfo)); ((BaseGridBehavior)radGridView1.GridBehavior).RegisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewNewRowInfo), new MyNewRowBehavior());
