Always On Variable Converter

Posted on by FR-19121834-0
I am currently building an app that updates variables when buttons are pressed.  I need to be able to convert the variables to text in real time and don't see an immediate way to do this.  
 
Press Button
Set(VarArea, 1)
 
I need VarArea to stay as a 1, but in a text string convert it to a text that just says Frame.
I can do this with a button, but I need it to update in real time.
 
Is there some insert where I can put a code that says something like If(VarArea = 1, PieceProduct = "Frame")?
 
I hope that made sense.
