I create a text input box, then under the Var field in properties subwindow, gave it the name chart_comp_hist.

Ok, that is the problem. Instead of giving the text field the variable name "chart_comp_hist" give it the instance name "chart_comp_hist", the chart_comp_hist variable in the code will then reference the actual text field and not the text field content (which is what it is doing at the moment).
