Hiden globals

[Scott Miller]

I have a problem where I have a VI of globals, some of which are
hidden. I need to modify one of these globals, but I cannot access it,
unlike a normally hidden control where I can make it visible via the
context menu of the control's terminal.

Does anyone have a solution to making visible a hidden global?

Try to play around with "Application Control" VIs; maybe it is possible to programmatically access to a global VI's controls and switch all "hiden" properties to FALSE value - oz

Here is vi that make this.

I've done this many times with front panel controls, but I can't see a
way to access a control in another VI using the property node. Maybe
this is a none-recoverable dead end in LV? Bugger!

Try this - open a VI reference to the VI with the global. Then get the panel reference. Wire this to a Controls[] property. Take the array into a For loop and wire it to a Visible property. The attached example worked for me. You'll have to change the path in the example.
