Run time you should not change Labels, this works only in edit mode.  You can instead change the Caption of a control/indicator, see attached VI.

Was this what you were looking for? I hope so...

Hi,

Actually in my front panel i am having two buttons Run and Report.When Run is pressed the caption/Label  is "Executing" and when Report is pressed it has to change to "Generating Report"

How to achive this?

Hi!
   First note that "Caption" and "label" are two different things....

   To display caption, do the following:

• select Progress bar on front panel and left click, select "visible items" --> "Caption" (you have to display caption before to be able to modify this)
• go to Block diagram, select progress bar indicator, left click, and "create" --> "property node"
• left click on the properety of property node, select "properties" --> "Caption" --> "Text"
• select property of property node, and set "change to write"
• Wire the string you want to set as caption.

   These are all the steps for doing this, let me know if there're further problems.  Or post your code....

   Have a nice day!
