alter width of texteditbox (JSL)

Question

I have been unsuccessful in being able to adjust the width of a texteditbox from the default of 4 characters. Does anyone know how or if this can be accomplished?

"this doesn't seem to do anything in JMP 8.0.2"

... hence this thread

Perhaps a simpler solution is to use the << set width() option, provided you have JMP 9, this doesn't seem to do anything in JMP 8.0.2

New Window("Test",
	V List Box(
		"Test",
		teb = text edit box("Change Me",
			<< script(mytext = teb << Get Text),
			<< set width(250)
		)
	)
)

Here is an alternative solution, which works in JMP7 too: use set wrap( ) option and keep Text Edit Box content long (backfill with extra spaces). style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #0000dd; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">New Window style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
