There have been a few times I wanted to do this; but I could never figure out how...  until now,

Hi Paul,

This is interesting, what is going on in here? How did you do it?

[billko]

I understand what is happening, but I don't understand how to get there - or how to undo it.

Hi Paul,

I guess you played around with LVScripting to convert/embed a string constant ("Hi there!") into a wire anyhow?

My tool which automatically fixes many forms of VI corruption gave me this, and then I took it up a level.

Fun note:  If you get this far and reveal the hidden control, then delete it... if you press "undo", it'll stutter LabVIEW for a few seconds then hard crash, losing any other work you might have open...

I turned off bit 6 in the Basic Object Flags of the block diagram terminal and it became invisible.

Autosave, a twitchy ctrl-S finger, and multiple backups/day save me many heartaches.

By any chance did you come across this while trying to figure out a way to lock block diagram objects, as you posted in another thread today?

Yup.  But I never found a way to lock them.
