That's not how it works. The wizards create a skeletal set of code files.
Once this is done, you have to explicitly bring up a "wizard" (I
hate that term) if you want to use it to modify something (you don't have
to use a wizard). You might do this when you want to add or modify some bit
of functionality, like responding to a button you just added to a dialog
box. If you want to delete a function, you have to highlight it in a list
and press delete.

In about ten years of doing this stuff on and off, I've never experienced
the disappearing function syndrome Jeff described, and I am not aware of
anyone else who has either.
