Bind the "text" property to some context attribute and change the value of this attribute.

Hi,

If you need to change the text view value dynamically everytime then you need to do this in wdModifyView.

wdDoInit will be executed once at a time but the wdModifyView will run everytime whenever you do any operation.

No. The text should be accessed via the context and this can/should be done in any controller method and not in wdDoModifyView().

Hi Kennai

Thanks. ya i understand that.

Actually i made 2 context variables va_first_name and va_last_name. I have set these values in wdDoInit or wdDoModifyView method.

Now thing is i want to display both first name and last name in one textView but at design time we can only assign single context variable

Pls let me know how to solve this issue...

Thanks...

Just add another attribute that stores the concatenation. A calculated attribute could be useful here.

And don't use wdDoModifyView() to change those context attribute values.
