Is there any easy way to display all the front panel items that are hidden pragmatically?

Hi,

There were some occasions where the new indicator I created was actually overlapping with the other indicator which was hidden at the time of development.

I only realize this when program is usually running and the hidden indicator appears on the front panel.

It would be great if I can see all the front panel items hidden while in developing mode.

Is there any easy way for this or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Steve

Thank you smercurio_fc,

That's exactly what I was after. Now I have nice tool to show hidden controls. I also voted for that idea to have this tool as a standard edit menu.

After trying this feature though, one thing arise to me.

It would be nice to have undo option (hide again) because once I show all hidden controls or indicators it shows not only programically hidden ones but also hidden items that I have hide by right clicking the item in the block diagram. Once I save the VI, these need to be hide maually.

Anyway I'm happy now to learn new feature and it will be very useful.

Cheers
