Line return characters in EditControl text

[Steve McWilliams]

WPF EditControl automatically changes  “\r” to “\r\n”, I need to retain the “\r” and not have it changed to “\r\n”.

Is there an option to control that behavior ?

Hi Steve, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your “Need to retain “\r” not changed to “\r\n”. Please refer the following, 

1. “\r” in both MS  and our editors behaves the same i.e. creates a new row in same line.
2. Can you please let us know what operation you indent to perform by using “\r”? Do you intend to add new row in same line as shown in below screenshot? If so , currently this support is not completely usable. This support will be completed and updated in any of upcoming releases.

Our application edits text files that can come from various OS platforms - Windows, Unix, Linux, etc.

These files are used for machine control purposes and need to preserve contents exactly (except as explicitly changed in text editor).

We have a control on the screen that allows user to choose which EOL character sequence to insert into the text when Enter key is pressed.

This is so the file can be edited in Windows client, but remain consistent with intended platform once changes are saved.

We intercept Enter key and insert what we want as end-of-line chars. That's working OK.

But it seems that EditControl is automatically changing all our end-of-line chars whenever any change is made to text.

So we have to go back through and change them all back to original values.

We were just wondering if there's an option to avoid the automatic changing of end-of-line chars.

Basic WPF TextBox doesn't seem to do this automatic changing.

Hi Steve, 

Thanks for your update. 

We have checked your query “Need to retain “\r” not changed to “\r\n”. But we are unable to reproduce the reported query. When the text is changed , the “\n ” is changed to “\r\n”, but the “\r” remains unchanged. Please refer the below video reflecting the same. If we are missing any details or information regarding this query please let us know.
