how to add text to string controller while running the VI

[Mudda]

My VI runs when ever I open it. I want to add text to the string controller. The VI is not taking anything. Do I need set any property so that I can update the string controller while the VI is running.

Do you mean that you are changing the value of the string control and the new value is not being utilized in your program? LabVIEW will only read the value of the control when it comes to that point in the diagram. I suspect that you are only reading the value of the control once and are changing the value after it has been read. Therefore your new value has no effect on the program. If this is not the case then posting an example of the problem that you are having would be beneficial.
