2.3.3 Menu ’File’
17
You can cancel this task by pressing the corresponding button. By using one of the two buttons Open or
Cancel the dialog window disappears.
After you have loaded a program, the corresponding file name will be appended at the bottom of the
menu File, in the file history. This allows you to switch between recently loaded files quickly. The most
recently loaded file is always listed first.
Via this menu item you can add procedures from a HDevelop program file to the current program. All
procedures except the main procedure are loaded from the selected file (see figure 2.3). If the current
program already contains a procedure with the same name, the newly added procedure will be renamed
by appending a suffix to its name.
2.3.3.4 File . Open Example Program
Selecting this menu item opens a dialog that allows you to load HDevelop example programs grouped
by different topics and categories (see figure 2.4). The dialog is made up of three separate list boxes.
The left list contains the three available topics ’Industry’, ’Application Area’ and ’Method’. If you select
a topic all categories of that topic are listed in the middle part of the window. If you select one of the
categories all corresponding example programs belonging to the topic and category are displayed in the
right subwindow. Single clicking on an example program in the right list displays a short information in
HDevelop’s status bar, while double clicking or clicking OK will load the selected program and close the
dialog. A HDevelop example program can appear under different topics and categories.
