Does the ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Editors.TextBox class handle text wrapping?
If so what are the methods/properties to use?

Any help would be much appericated.

Hi Dean,

Sorry but our editors aren't designed to support word wrap at the moment.

Thanks for that i know this is probably the wrong forum but

1) will the ribbon text box support word wrapping?
2) should ribbon controls be used outside the ribbon?

Dean,

1) ribbon:TextBox does indirectly inherit the WPF TextBox, so I would think it would be supported but I haven't tried it since in the ribbon we focus on single line usage.

2) You can use them outside of the ribbon but they are generally designed to be command oriented for ribbon use. So things like buttons will work fine outside of the ribbon. The ribbon:TextBox isn't as beneficial outside the ribbon though. If you are specifically referring to the ribbon:TextBox, note we have a style for the native TextBox that makes it look like the ribbon one. That's demoed in the "Styles for Core WPF Controls" QuickStart.

thank you very much your help and knowledge so far has been great.

I thought the editor and ribbon textbox inherit the WPF TextBoxBase class and that this class doesnot support word wrapping therefore neither control inherits word wrapping.

Could you please confirm if this is correct.

Dean,

Editors has a custom text box class so it does not have word wrapping.

Ribbon's TextBox inherits the native WPF TextBox so it supports word wrap. This sort of code will use a native WPF TextBox with a ribbon theme to it and word wrap enabled:
<TextBox Style="{DynamicResource {x:Static ribbon:RibbonStyles.TextBoxKey}}" TextWrapping="Wrap" 
         Height="100" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" />
