Erasing an Edit String Box in LabWindows

When you've exhausted all the possible reasons why it isn't working, the only thing left is the impossible.

Hi,

First, I am not looking for a LabView answer.  I don't use LabView and don't understand all that visual stuff.  😊

I have no problems erasing text boxes.  But I'm using the password instrument and that requires the box to be an text string, not a text box.  ResetTextBox() doesn't work because it's not a text box.  I've tried SetCtrlVal() and SetCtrlAttribute() but I can't get either to put a string into the text string box.

I have a suspicion that I'm doing something stupid.  But you know how it is, you look at something for so long that the stupidness isn't apparent.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,

Dave
