problem with dialog text box

I have a dialog box that won't let me change the text in a textbox. When I type in the textbox, my input is replaced with the text it had initially. Have you encountered this behavior before? If so, how can I fix it?

If you mean a uicontrol textbox, they're static controls and users cannot change text interactively. You can only programmatically update the 'string' property.

IOW, that's the normal and expected behavior.
