    Hi,

    When I hit enter in the richtextbox, an empty line appears between the previous and the new line (like a new paragraph).
    I would like to insert a 'normal' enter/new line when I hit enter.

    Is this possible? Now the only way I can achieve this is when I hit shift + enter.

    Best regards.

    Hi Frank,

    Thank you for writing.

    In order to change the input behavior of the control, you should create a descendant of the InputBehavior class and override the desired method. Here is how to change the Enter key behavior as per your request:
    class MyInputBehavior : InputBehavior
    {
     
        public MyInputBehavior(DocumentView view)
            : base(view)
        {
     
        }
     
        protected override bool ProcessEnterKey(KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
            this.DocumentView.Insert(FormattingSymbolLayoutBox.LINE_BREAK);
            return true;
        }
    }

    And here is how to put this behavior in action:
    radRichTextBox1.DocumentView.InputBehavior = new MyInputBehavior(radRichTextBox1.DocumentView);

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Stefan
