Code Library Control

The Code Library tool is used to store code samples, also called clips, that can reused.

• Adept DeskTop also provides some predefined code clips that you can use as a starting point.

• Code clips added by the user are stored to the preferences folder in Windows on the

computer. This ensures that when you reinstall or upgrade Adept DeskTop, your code clips
are reloaded into the Code Library.

• Code clips provided with Adept DeskTop are protected files. They cannot be modified or

deleted.

To open the Code Library
