Object I cannot select

[lmtis]

I have a VI that I inherited, and I need to reduce the size of the front panel.  Unfortunately, there is a gray rectangle on the FP that I cannot resize.  When I click on it, nothing happens.  I cannot select it.  In the attached picture you can see a tab control, and behind it is the gray "box".  When I try to resize the FP, it stops when it gets to this "box".  What the heck is it?

Looks to me like it might be an ActiveX container or some other type of container? Might be a decoration. Can you move the tab control and then click-drag to enclose the object to select it and move it and/or delete it? Can you Can you post the VI?

I was mistaken.  The window size property was set, and it just appeared that I couldn't reduce below the size of the object.  I would still like to know what the object is.  I deleted everything from the wiring diagram and it is still there.  I can select it with a click and drag or with "select all", but I can't move it, delete it, or resize it.

According to LV it's a decoration.  I put this code on the block diagram to get a list of items on the front panel.

Try clicking the Reorder button (the two arrows creating a circle) on the toolbar and see if the decoration is locked. If it is, unlock it.

Thank you tst, you got it!  I knew it had to be a decoration, but I had never encountered a locked item on the FP.  Thanks for the knowlege.
