Hmm... can't make control visible

Okay, here's a fun one for you all...

How do you make invisible controls visible again? Seems easy, but

1) I deleted the attribute node, and

2) The control is in a cluster, so there is no control to click on in
the Diagram Screen.

3) Undo's buffer has been overrun by other things I've done.

It's easy to create the situation if anyone wants to know how:

Create a cluster on the front panel and stick an element into it (say, a
boolean). Create an attribute node on the element, and wire a False to
it (Visible). Run. Delete the Attribute node.

Now, how do you get that element visible again?

Well, never mind. It's impossible to get it back. Somone here at work
talked to Tech Support several times about it -- it's gone forever and there
are no plans to fix this. That's so dumb.

There is currently no way to get it back, but not fixing it would be dumb.
There are plans to fix it.

Sorry, you are outta luck! NI has warned against those type of mistakes,
in much of their literature and in the info groups. There is nothing you
can do to bring it back. Delete the cluster and start over.
Good luck.

Well...

I asked here and boys got one idea...

Find cluster terminal and 'unbundle' or 'unbundle by name' some or all
elements. Check unbundle function, click right button and create control or
indicator. You can't restore original control but now you get new similar
control with all elements visible...
