LabVIEW (2019 was used here) displays a dubious behaviour when you change a text control to "Update value while typing"; If the control display mode was Hex - LabVIEW allows itself to silently add a change of the display mode to "Normal". 😲 Others here have commented on the lack of support for "Update value while typing" when in hex display mode (which understandably poses a bit of a challenge, but could have been implemented by updating on mid-stages as well), but this automatic silent side-effect is a bit nasty as it is very easily overlooked. It would be safer to either disable the Update value while typing option while in Hex Display - or show a dialog asking for which supported display mode to change to due to the inability to support the given combination.

Update value while typing silently changes the display mode

Yes, then we agree RavensFan. 😀

The optimal solution would be to support updates while typing even for hex displays, even if it would update twice per byte, but in this case my main complaint is the possibility of a silent change of display mode.
