Hi

Create two attribute with type int and bind it to the Text Edit's rows and cols .

You can change the value at run time

Hi

For example you set the test to the text edit.

String text="Some text";

int len=text.length();

wdContext.currentContextElement().set<col>(len);

Hi,

create one int type attribute and bind it to the cols property of TextEdit.

if you had done the bindings already then do the following.

In DoInit part write,

wdContext.currentContextElement().set<lengthattrib>(50);

Hi

I guess you are looking to set the "max length" of the textedit so that you can limit user's input to some length. Try this

IWDAttributInfo attrInfo = <get attribute info> // get attribute info for attribute to which value property of textedit has been bound
int maxLength = <get max length dynamically>; // get max length to be specified
attrInfo.getModifiableSimpleType().setMaxLength(length);
