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 wrapping property is off, the scroll bar is only displayed if the text row length exceeds the value of the col property.

Other properties that can be inherited are defined in the related higher-level classes. The related UI elements are:
Accessibility
To enable the development of accessible applications the property label is checked during the syntax check.
If no label has been set, and no descriptive text has been specified for the appropriate bound context element in the ABAP Dictionary, the property tooltip is checked.
Dynamic Programming
For dynamic programming, the same properties, events, and aggregations as in the View Designer are available. But note that the spelling format and use of upper/lower case is different.
