Why Am I Missing Controls When I Show Hidden Elements in a Cluster?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Full Development System

Problem:
I am trying to view a hidden control inside a cluster, but I cannot find my control listed when I select Advanced»Show Hidden Element. I have verified that the control exists with the Unbundle By Name function on the block diagram, so why is it not in the front panel list?

Solution:
The Unbundle By Name function displays the elements by Label name, whereas the Show Hidden Element option lists controls by their Caption. You probably have a caption that is different from the control's label. All hidden elements should be available, but they may just be listed by different names. See the example below that simply demonstrates this contrast (only one control resides in the cluster).
