- #12: Tool Set Interdependencies
-
- Revised by: Matt Deatherage & Dave Lyons January 1990
- Written by: Jim Merritt April 1987
-
- This Technical Note lists all known interdependencies between system tool sets
- on the Apple IIGS.
- Changes since July 1989: Apple now recommends starting the Desk Manager
- last.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- A tool set is dependent upon another if you must start the latter before
- starting the former. You should start tool sets in the order listed below.
- Names marked with an asterisk (*) indicate a recommendation to start the
- corresponding tool set, but the order is not required for operation of the
- dependent tool. Apple recommends using StartUpTools to start up all the tool
- sets your application needs. See the Apple IIGS Toolbox Reference, Volume 3
- for more details.

- Note: Line Edit, the Dialog Manager, and the Control Manager require the
- presence of the Font Manager and QuickDraw Auxiliary if you use
- LETextBox2, statText controls, or LongStatText2 items which require any
- font styling (e.g., outline, boldface, etc.).
-
- Scrap Manager Tool #22 ($16)
- Tool Locator (#1)
- Memory Manager (#2)
-
- Standard File Operations Tool #23 ($17)
- Tool Locator (#1)
- Memory Manager (#2)
- Miscellaneous Tools (#3)

- calls.
-
- Note: Standard File 3.0 and later use the List Manager for displaying a list
- of file names. Although Standard File functions properly if the
- application has not started the List Manager, it saves time if the
- application does so.
-
- Note Synthesizer Tool #25 ($19)
- Tool Locator (#1)

- Sound Tools (#8)
-
- Note Sequencer Tool #26 ($1A)

- Memory Manager (#2)
- Sound Tools (#8)
- Note Synthesizer (#25)
-
- Note: The Note Sequencer automatically handles the start and shutdown of the
- Free-Form Sound Tools (#8) and the Note Synthesizer (#25), so programs
- that use the Note Sequencer must not execute start or shutdown calls
- for those tools. Automatic start does not imply automatic loading.
- If you plan to use the Note Sequencer, you must still load the Free-Form
- Sound Tool and the Synthesizer Tool explicitly through calls to the Tool
- Locator routines LoadTools or LoadOneTool or by calling the System
- Loader and Tool Locator directly in appropriate cases.
-
- Font Manager Tool #27 ($1B)
- Tool Locator (#1)
- Memory Manager (#2)
- * Miscellaneous Tools (#3) For ChooseFont call only
- QuickDraw II (#4)

- Tool Locator (#1)
- Memory Manager (#2)
- Miscellaneous Tools (#3)
- Sound Manager (#8)
- * Note Synthesizer (#25)
-
- Note: The MIDI Tools require the Note Synthesizer if you intend to use the
- MIDI clock feature. If you are not using the MIDI clock, the Note
- Synthesizer is not required.
-

- Tool Locator (#1)
- Memory Manager (#2)
- Miscellaneous Tools (#3)
- QuickDraw II (#4)

-
-
- Recommended Start Order
-
- A close look at the preceding information will reveal apparent "circular
- dependencies" between various tool sets (i.e., two or more tool sets may
- depend upon each other). To resolve the issue of which tool set to start
- first in such a situation, here is a list of the most commonly used tool sets,
- given in the order in which an application should start them. You may start
- those tools which are indented at a specific level at that time or any time
- thereafter.
-
- Tool Locator (#1)
- ADB Tools (#9)
- Integer Math Tools (#11)
- Text Tools (#12)
- Memory Manager (#2)
- SANE (#10)
- ACE (#29)
- Resource Manager (#30)
- Miscellaneous Tools (#3)
- Scheduler (#7)
- System Loader (#17) LoaderStartup does nothing.
- QuickDraw II (#4)
- QuickDraw II Auxiliary (#18)
- Event Manager (#6)
- Window Manager (#14)
- Control Manager (#16)
- Menu Manager (#15)
- LineEdit (#20)
- Dialog Manager (#21)
- either
- Sound Tools then (#8)
- Note Synthesizer (#25)
- or
- Note Sequencer (#26)
- MIDI Tools (#32)
- Standard File Operations (#23)
- Scrap Manager (#22)
- List Manager (#28)
- Font Manager (#27)
- Print Manager (#19)
- Text Edit (#34)
- Desk Manager (#5)
-
- Note: Although you may start the sound-related tools any time after the
- Miscellaneous Tools, we recommend you start them after most of the
- Desktop-related tools. We also recommend you start the Desk Manager
- last and shut it down first.
