Displaying All Hidden Controls and Indicators

You can display all hidden front panel controls and indicators of custom controls and global variables by selecting Edit»Show Hidden Controls and Indicators.

  3. Click the Run button.

All hidden front panel controls and indicators of the target VI appear, and the Ctl Labels indicator of the ShowHidden Core VI displays the labels of the controls and indicators shown.
