Can't highlight control and enter text while program running

[Peg]

A strange change has occurred to my application and I cannot figure out what the change is. I used to be able to place the cursor in a control, select the text and then type over it in order to change the value of a control. For example, if a control was 0 and I wanted 2000, I highlight the 0 and type 2000. Now when I try to do that, the cursor just flashes and a check mark to the left of the run arrow in the upper left of the screen flashes. No highlighting is possible. This occurs when the program is running.

Answering my own question, it appears to have something to do with wiring text to a tip strip via a property node. I wanted the tip strip to change depending on the state of a Boolean, so wired a string to the Tip Strip property. When this is removed, controls can once again be changed by highlighting the number and typing the desired value. Attached is a little vi showing this.

Hi Peg,
Your observation is correct if you're using a LabVIEW version prior to LabVIEW 7.0. In LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1, this behavior has been changed. Just thought I would throw this info for anyone trying to do the same. Updating to the latest and greatest will resolve this issue.
