No need for the Set_Item_Property. Just assign the value to the text item.
-- Some trigger/program unit text
Declare
  ....
Begin
  ...
  :your_block.your_item := 'ENTER SOME TEXT HERE.';
  ...
End;

Search for the appropriate trigger to set the item. Let's say your text item (txt_message) is dependent on a checkbox (chk_ok) in the same block. Then you would create a when-validate-item trigger on the checkbox with some code like:
Begin
  -- If the checkbox is checked, put a text in the text item
  If CheckBox_Checked('my_block.chk_ok') Then
    :myblock.txt_message := 'checkbox is checked';
  Else -- put another text in the text item
    :myblock.txt_message := 'The checkbox is not checked now.';
  End if;
End;
You see,
all depends on WHEN you want your text item to be filled. If you can give that information (i.e. when it should change, dependent on what items, after a query...), I'm sure a suitable solution will come up....
