StartUpList

Hi All

I started to wonder what was actually running in my image. After a bit of hunting around I found the Smalltalk addToStartUpList etc but I couldn’t see how to look at the list to see what was being started. Is there a method for this or some indirect way to get there?

Thanks

Bob

Re: StartUpList

Hi, Bob,

(1) To see which classes are in the StartUpList, evaluate:

SystemDictionary classPool at: #StartUpList

(2) To see the *code* that is run on behalf of these classes at start-up time, browse implementors of #startUp. In the resulting message-list, look only at the class-side #startUp methods that are associated with the classes that are in the StartUpList, as revealed in step 1.

[There will also be eight or ten *instance-side* #startUp methods in the implementors-of-startUp message-lis, such as for PopUpMenu, but these are not part of the system startup process, and can be ignored for this exercise.]

Cheers,

-- Scott
