How to get one particular control added to Event Structure > Edit Events > Event Sources selection pane?

I want to create an event handler that responds to Mouse Up on one of my front panel controls, but this particular control is not listed in the Event Sources pane of the Edit Events dialog for the Event Structure where all the other controls are. How do I get it to show up there? All the other controls are already working this way, creating events that the Event Structure handles. This particular control doesn't appear to have any unique or unusual properties, it's just a boolean control, a switch, like most of the others. Restarting LabView still doesn't make it appear on the list.
This LV 8.5 on WinXP.
 
Thanks!

Hi cebailey,

could it be that this control is part of a cluster?

Hi, Mike. No clusters. Good idea, tho.

Actually, I have now added several controls without seeing them on the list, at least at first. Then, while I was sitting there glaring at the list itself, it suddenly grew longer, and they were all there, appearing at the end. An extra gap appeared in the scroll bar at the right, too, making the handle part of the scroll bar a little shorter while I was looking at it. But it took a couple of minutes. Weird.

Now I can point to all my controls, though I don't know if this will happen again if I add more.

Is there any way to force this list to refresh itself? Or do we just need to wait if controls aren't there yet? I'm surprised the discrepancy could outlast closing and reopening LV, although it was only the first absent control that I observed this happen to.

Hi cebailey,
i´m not sure and i never had a problem with it. Normally labview updates the list automatically.
