UI element TextEdit makes it possible to enter and display multi-line text. The text in this UI element uses a uniform font, font size, and font style. The UI element is displayed with borders and the frame size is specified by the properties col and row. If the number of rows exceeds the value of the row property, a vertical scroll bar is displayed.
If the value of the wrappingproperty is off, the scroll bar is only be displayed if the text row length exceeds the value of the col property.
To ensure Accessibility a check is made during design time that the label property has been specified.
If no label has been set, and no descriptive text has been specified for the appropriate bound context element in the ABAP Dictionary, a check is made for the tooltip property.
