show hidden indicator

[nyc_(is_out_of_here)]

LabVIEW 2015

Cannot figure out how to show a hidden indicator.

I am not sure how it is "hidden", but I cannot find it to edit it.

Double-clicking in the Block Diagram doesn't do anything.

Can you do this? If not, please post the VI

You probably already got the right answer above, but what does "doesn't do anything" actually mean? Does it at least pop the front panel when you double-click the terminal (that would already be "something" :D). Does it show an outline? Especially if the indicator is on another tab or covered with something else, LabVIEW sometimes has problems showing the control, even if it is not set to hidden.

Interestingly enough, when I right-click on the cluster, I get the Hide Indicator option.

So it looks like the indicator is not hidden and should be somewhere on the Front Panel.

Yes, double-clicking on it, pops the Front Panel, but no outline or anything.

I am guessing that the indicator is somewhere on the front panel.

edit: no scrollbars on the front panel.

So I can't scroll anywhere.

I don't see the enable/disable scrollbar option in VI Properties.

edit #2:

It looks like he's got 4 panes set up on the front panel.

1. top

2. bottom

3. right

4. main

Hi nyc,

I had something very similar with this XControl: fp items didn't pop up when double-clicking their terminal in the block diagram.

I solved the problem by making the scrollbars visible in the VI properties (and switching off the autoscaling set by the OP), then unhiding the controls, then unlocking them, then ungrouping them…

Theoretically, double-clicking the terminal should select the front panel object, even if it doesn't seem like it visually.  What happens if you double-click the terminal, then when the front panel is displayed, use the arrow keys to try to move the object around?

Edit:

Oops, I'm late.

[altenbach]

What happens if you drag that terminal to the diagram of a new, empty VI? Can you see the control there?

[altenbach]

Does the front panel exceed the allowable range for the coordinates?

[nyc_(is_out_of_here)]

He's sized the front panel to 640x480.

There are at least 3 splitters dividing up the front panel.

This cluster indicator is in the top pane.

The top pane is sized to be about 10-20 pixels in height.

So, how I do minimal damage to this?

I want to change this cluster indicator. It isn't set up as TypeDef.

Sigh.
