How to change Table Cell Field Type Dynamically?

Question

Hi All,
I am fetching some news data from backend DB and displaying them in a WD Table. Now one News Item may or may not have a URL behind it. If I find the URL as null then I want to display the news as simple TextView otherwise as LinkToUrl. How can I change this input type dynamically for each row in the runtime?
If I use LinkToUrl all the time then the items which has URL as null gets displayed as normal text, but they are of very faint color and I can not change the text design. Whether if I user TextView I can set some text design like Header2, Header 3 etc.
Can anybody please help with some code block? My main requirement is how to change the table cell input type dynamically.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Shubhadip,
This is the sample code for creating and adding a table cell editor table dynamically.
public static void wdDoModifyView
(IPrivateDynamicTableCreationView wdThis, IPrivateDynamicTableCreationView.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)
//@@begin wdDoModifyView
/*** 1.Create Table **/
IWDTable table =
(IWDTable) view.createElement(IWDTable.class, "table1");
table.setWidth("100%");
table.setVisibleRowCount(data.length);
/*** 2.Create nameColumn **/
IWDTableColumn nameColumn =
(IWDTableColumn) view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class, "Name");
IWDCaption colHeader =
(IWDCaption) view.createElement(IWDCaption.class, "NameHeader");
colHeader.setText("–¼‘O");
nameColumn.setHeader(colHeader);
IWDTextView nameViewer =
(IWDTextView) view.createElement(IWDTextView.class, "NameViewer");
nameViewer.bindText(nameAtt);
IWDTableCellEditor editor = (IWDTableCellEditor) nameViewer;
nameColumn.setTableCellEditor(editor);
table.addColumn(nameColumn);
IWDTableColumn nationalityColumn =
(IWDTableColumn) view.createElement(
IWDTableColumn.class,
"Nationality");
IWDTableCellEditor nationalityEditor =
(IWDTableCellEditor) nationalityViewer;
nationalityColumn.setTableCellEditor(nationalityEditor);
table.addColumn(nationalityColumn);
/** 3. Bind context to table **/
table.bindDataSource(nodeInfo);
//@@end
