Unhide a control or indicator?

[hecmar.arreola]

I'm in LabVIEW 8.6.1f1 and am having a hard time figuring out how to unhide a control or indicator.  I have the need for an input for a SubVI that pops up a dialog box, and I don't want that control visible to the end user.  I right-click the control on the front panel, browse to Advanced->Hide Control.  Poof, the control is gone but I can still link it to a terminal on the SubVI icon and access its data in the block diagram.  Perfect.

Now I want to make the control visible again and I'm a little loss on how to do this.  If I double click the representation of the control on the block diagram LabVIEW takes me to the front panel with the control selected but dimmed out.  Following the same right-click menu in the Advanced menu I would have suspected to see the "Hide Control" menu selection with a little check-box... this isn't the case.  I see "Hide Control" but when I click on that the control stays hidden.  I've browsed through most of the options and can't find an option to unhide a control.  Please help.  Thanks!

Right click the terminal in the diagram. One of the options is "Show Control".

Right-click on the terminal and select 'show indicator'

Oh excellent.  Not sure why I had "unhide" in my mind when "show" is a perfectly good antonym to "hide."  Reminds me of when I was trying to find the "Arrange By" options for a folder in Finder in Mac OS X and it was under "Sort By".  Blind to the obvious.  Thanks guys!

I typically don't hide elements. It is sufficient to place them outside the visible area and configure the windows properties so the front panel cannot be scrolled or resized at runtime.
