Hi guys,

I have created a text prompt in layout editor by clicking a button 'TEXT'('A' symbol) from left hand side toolbar,text is created with name 'TEXT67' and graphics type 'TEXT'.

when i click that text(TEXT67),block showing <null>.

So i cant use the below code,bcoz no block for that text..

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('<BLOCK_NAME>.<TEXT_NAME>',PROMPT_TEXT,' ');

then i tried below,i.e i skip block name i gave only text name..

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('TEXT67',PROMPT_TEXT,' ');

not working...

How to resolve this?

Thanks....

This is just an ordinary text - it looks like a prompt, but it isn't really. "Real" prompts are part of items. So, on order to create it properly, open item's property palette, scroll down to "Prompt" section and set prompt text in there.
