;pageName : <code>string</code> – Name of the page.
;textName : <code>string</code> – Name of a text element created with [[API:LCDCreateStaticText|LCDCreateStaticText]].

* <code>Error in function call 'LCDStaticTextSetText': Page '%s' does not have a child named '%s'.</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'LCDStaticTextSetText': '%s' on page '%s' is not a/an StaticText.</code>

From <code>ea_lcdkeyboard/source/g15test.lua</code>:
<pre>
local title = GetStringFromTable( "LCDStrings", StringTables.LCDStrings.GAME_TITLE )..L"\n"..GetStringFromTable( "LCDStrings", StringTables.LCDStrings.GAME_SUBTITLE )
LCDStaticTextSetText( EA_LCDKeyboard.Page0, "Title", title )

function EA_LCDKeyboard.UpdateCareerPoints(previousResourceValue, currentResourceValue)
LCDStaticTextSetText( EA_LCDKeyboard.Page1, "CP", L""..currentResourceValue )
