Re : How to fix/get rid of controls hidden outside the frame of a structure?

[Labuser16383]

Recently i shrinked a case structure again after it was automatically expanded several times.

I did not recognize any problem since i was looking again at the exit case which is the only one where a true constant

is connected to the stop of the outer while loop.

First the wire wasn't visible at all so i thought i forgot to wire the true constant.

Then i created a new constant which also did not appear on the BD and so i created another one and another one....

When right clicked the terminal i could clean up the original wire which then appeared again how it is shown above.

Now i wonder where all the constants went and how i can make them appear again.

Any clue?

1. If visible, click on the "List Warnings" icon.
2. Click on the line to select the object.
3. Move it with the arrow keys.

1. If the icon isn't visible, add any function on your diagram to generate an error.
2. Press the "Run" arrow to open the "Error list" dialog box.
3. If this is not the case, show the warnings.
4. Click on the line to select the obejt
5. ...

... press Ctrl + L

or click  'View' --> 'Error List' from the menu to show the "Error list" dialog box.

I have to say I certainly have developed a love/hate relationship with Auto Grow.

Most of the time I love it, but when autogrowing a case it can really make a mess of code in the other cases.

That sounds about right.  It is very useful for when you are shrinking your structures to make sure you don't cover anything up.  But when you copy strings or change the length of labels that are in the wrong location, it can expand on you and make a little mess.  I find I like them more than hate.  Your mileage may vary.

I do the same ....

move the constant and quickly un-do the auto-explode setting.

This is my only use of this feature.

also if you know the name of constants CTRl+F
could useful for find them
