TextEdit 
Definition
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 property row, a vertical scroll bar is displayed.
If the value of wrapping is off, the scroll bar is only displayed if the text row length exceeds the value of property col.
