Displaying a text box before running a program

Solved!
Go to solution

I am designing a new interface for a pulse duplicator on LabView and I wanted to display some text on the front panel before running the program. I managed to create text boxes that appear after the code starts running but I was wondering if there was a way to display these text boxes before the code runs.

Maybe I am misunderstanding/oversimplifying, but if you have a String Indicator (text box -- as you call it) you can simply type in whatever you want the initial value to be, then right-click and select  "Data Operations".  Then pick "Make Current Value Default".

when you run your code do you move some text in your text boxes, and you want your boxes to show some default text at the start of your code. if i am right then  MrHappy has told you the way.
