  Hello Richa,
  
  You can enable multiline on the RadMaskedTextBox, however you would have to enable this from the ControlTemplate itself. The control internally uses an extended TextBox, which supports the multiline feature. You would have to modify the default template of the RadMaskedTextBox and set the AcceptsReturn property of the ExtendedTextBox in its template to true.
  
  

  <telerikMaskedTextBox:ExtendedTextBox x:Name="PART_ExtendedTextBox"

  TabIndex="{TemplateBinding TabIndex}" IsTabStop="True" AcceptsReturn="True"

  ... />

  Hi Kiran,
  
  This is part of the ControlTemplate of the RadMaskedTextBox. Please note that you have to modify and apply the style with the changes to the RadMaskedTextBox in order for this to take effect ( <telerik:RadMaskedTextBox Style="{StaticResource ...}" />). You can use Blend to easily get the default style and modify it.

  Hello Mike,
  
  The AcceptReturn property works only on RadMaskedTextBox control with MaskType set to None. So if you have defined a Mask on the control, the AcceptReturn property won't work.
  
  However you can take advantage of the MaskedTextInput control to create a multiline mask as demonstrated in this demo solution.

  Hi Tina,
  
  thanks for your reply.
  I get it to work - with MaskType set to none.
  But now i cant get the validation - when i set the Property MaxLength to f.e. 100 characters.
  So its just a simple textbox and i dont get any feature of the maskedtextinput control. right?
  Is there any approach to constraint the input of the user in a customed multiline box of a MaskedTextBox?
  
  Thanks for your advice
  
  Mike

  Hello Mike,
  
  You can implement a validation scenario in the RadMaskedTextBox with a Mask set to None following the approach described in this tutorial. Give it a try and let me know if it helps.
