Unprompted automatic message making bites.

I just selected a right-click menu item on an actor's lvclass in the project explorer, and I won't be able to say which one it was until it stops what appears to be automatic message generation for each and every method. I believe it was something like "Create Messages for this Actor . . .". I expected some sort of prompt given the ellipsis in the menu item, but instead I'm sitting here wondering how much I'm going to have to remove from the project and delete when this is done. LabVIEW 2016.

Sorry. It was "Create Messages for Actor". No ellipsis, so no reason to expect a prompt. Mea culpa.

It doesn't take too long to create several... I'm curious... how many methods did you have?

Too many; 30+. The object is something of a kluge as I'm trying to move from older code to actors, and I think I've gone about it a bad way. Some of the methods were AF support methods, so I ended up things like "Write Write something something Msg Msg".

 

To make matters worse, I was trying to do "just one thing" before I left work to pick up dinner, so those several minutes felt like an eternity.
