Controls on the Front Panel have two text strings associated with them:
-> Label

-> Caption

Find here the difference, if you already don't know.

Now Captions can be edited during the VI is running and Labels can only be edited if the VI is in 'Edit mode'.

Following are some useful links:

1. Creating Captions

2. Write Label Text to Caption Text

3. Programmatically Changing the Label for a Control or Indicator in LabVIEW
