"Save and close after saving" option in Create Accessor dialog

Status: New

Hi!

 

I usually access class data members through property nodes. Create Accessor dialog is a useful tool for creating accessors but it really became annoying to close and save accessors manually. What I suggest is an option in Create Accessor dialog. If checked all accessors will close after creating process without opening the file save dialog.

There is already a similar tool which works nice: Actor Framework Message Maker.

Can we just open the code to the utility? I've already had a few cases where I wanted to automate the process.

Almost every time I create accessors for class data, I am creating several at once.  And once they are created, I almost always save them with the default generated name and then close them.  In fact, I cannot think of a time where I did not do this.

Sometimes I just do a save all on the project to speed this up, but sometime that is not appropriate.  And I still need to close them afterwards.  I cannot use 'Close All (this Project)' because I often have several other VIs open that I am working on and do not want those closed.

 

So, I think having a new persistent option or options) added to the Create Accessor Dialog is the best solution.  That way, those who like it the way it is can continue to use it as is and those of us that want to speed up our dev work can use the new option.
