Limit number of lines entered in WPF textbox

I am trying to limit the number of lines a user can enter in a textbox.

I have been researching - the closest I can find is this: Limit the max number of chars per line in a textbox .

And Limit the max number of chars per line in a textbox which turns out to be for winforms.

This isn't quite what I'm after... also worth mentioning that there is a misleading maxlines property which I have discovered only limits what is shown in the text box.

My requirements:

• Do not require the use of a mono-spaced font
• Limit the textbox to having a maximum of 5 lines
• Accepts carriage return
• Do not allow extra carriage returns
• Stops text input when max length has been reached
• Wraps text (don't particularly care if it does this in-between words or breaks up whole words)
• Handles text being pasted into the control and will only paste in what will fit.
• No scroll bars
• Also - and this would nice - having the option of limiting the number of characters per line

These requirements are for creating a WYSIWYG textbox which will be used for capturing data that will eventually be printed, and the fonts need to be changeable - if the text gets cut off or is too big for a fixed size line - then it will come out that way in print (even if it does not look right).

I've had a stab at doing this myself by handling events - but am having a great deal of trouble getting this right. Here is my code so far.

XAML

 <TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" AcceptsReturn="True"
        PreviewTextInput="UIElement_OnPreviewTextInput"
        TextChanged="TextBoxBase_OnTextChanged" />

Code Behind

 public int TextBoxMaxAllowedLines { get; set; }
    public int TextBoxMaxAllowedCharactersPerLine { get; set; }


    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        TextBoxMaxAllowedLines = 5;
        TextBoxMaxAllowedCharactersPerLine = 50;
    }

    private void TextBoxBase_OnTextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;

        int textLineCount = textBox.LineCount;

        if (textLineCount > TextBoxMaxAllowedLines)
        {
            StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();
            for (int i = 0; i < TextBoxMaxAllowedLines; i++)
                text.Append(textBox.GetLineText(i));

            textBox.Text = text.ToString();
        }

    }

    private void UIElement_OnPreviewTextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
    {
        TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;

        int textLineCount = textBox.LineCount;


        for (int i = 0; i < textLineCount; i++)
        {
            var line = textBox.GetLineText(i);

            if (i == TextBoxMaxAllowedLines-1)
            {
                int selectStart = textBox.SelectionStart;
                textBox.Text = textBox.Text.TrimEnd('\r', '\n');
                textBox.SelectionStart = selectStart;

                //Last line
                if (line.Length > TextBoxMaxAllowedCharactersPerLine)
                    e.Handled = true;
            }
            else
            {
                if (line.Length > TextBoxMaxAllowedCharactersPerLine-1 && !line.EndsWith("\r\n"))
                    e.Handled = true;    
            }

        }
    }

This doesn't quite work right - I am getting strange behaviour on the last line and the selected position within the textbox keeps jumping about.

As an aside, maybe I am going down the wrong track... I was also wondering if this could be achieved by using a regular expression using something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1103822/685341

I am open to any ideas as I have been struggling with this for a while. The requirements listed above are immutable - I am unable to change them.
