2.3.7.3 Procedures . Delete Current
2.3.7.4 Procedures . Delete All Unused
All procedures that cannot be reached by any procedure call from the main procedure are deleted from
the program. If the current procedure is among the deleted procedures, the main procedure becomes the
current procedure.
2.3.7.5 Procedures . Copy
Selecting this menu item opens a dialog with which it is possible to copy existing procedures (see figure 2.28). The dialog offers a combo box in which you can select the procedure that is to be copied,
either by typing the procedure name in the text field or by selecting a procedure from the combo box list,
which contains all procedures in the program. In the target text field the name of the target procedure can
be entered. Activating the Copy button creates a copy of the source procedure and adds it to the current
program. Cancel dismisses the dialog.

2.3.7.6 Procedures . Save Current As
HDevelop allows you to save or export the current procedure to a file. A file selection dialog similar to
to the one of File . SaveAs (see section 2.3.3.6 on page 18) is opened and after selecting a file, the
current procedure is saved together with all procedures that can be called directly or indirectly from the
procedure. If the selected file format is of type HDevelop, an empty main procedure is added to the file.
Note that if the selected file format corresponds to one of the supported HDevelop export languages C,
C++, or VB, the exported file will not contain a main or similar function, and the exported file will not
work as a standalone application. If the current procedure is the main procedure Procedures . Save
Current As has the same effect as File . Save As.
