I’m looking for a way to update the text that is listed in a TextInput widget from inside the script that initialized the figure.
Is there a way to do this?

Update text in TextInput widget?
You should be able to instantiate the TextWidget and then use the set method to update the “value” property of the model before you generate and save the output HTML. See:
http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.11.1/docs/reference/models/widgets.inputs.html
For more info on the widget.

I’m talking about hosting a TextInput on a bokeh server and update it realtime in concert with a crosshair/hover tool. Setting the value before sending it to a session I’ve managed to do

Robert, The continous mousemove type events are not currently reported back to the server. We are hoping to add a more lightweight eventing system for fire-and-forget type events, but that is future work. Is it possible you could update the text box from a CustomJS callback? The hover tool does support a CustomJS callback.
Thanks,
Bryan

Just to confirm, the bokeh.models.widgets.markups do not have the same interactive functionality (reading updated ColumnDataSource) as other widgets like Select or CheckboxGroup?
Link to the markup objects http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/reference/models/widgets.markups.html
I am looking to display text dynamically. Ie based on user selections, sometimes text “abc” is displayed. Other times nothing. This is helpful for my error messages.

Hi,
I would not describe that as accurate, the text of Div, Paragraph, TextInput, etc. can all be updated at any time. See, e.g.
https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/master/examples/howto/js_events.py
https://demo.bokehplots.com/apps/stocks
The original question was in regard to updating in response to continuous mouse movements, and the issue at the time was not that the text box could not be updated anytime, but the lack of fine grained UI events being available to respond to.
Thanks,
Bryan
