How to tell when ScrollView has finished populating.

[wallabie]

Use case:

ScrollView is dynamically populated, after it's populated, I need a  toggle a particular item to be highlighted.  Is there an event that's fired when the Scrollview has finished populating itself.

Scroll view doesn't populate itself. You are the one who populates it, so I am not sure what you mean?

Yes, I realize that I am populating it myself.  Then after it's populated, I'm calling Reposition() and ResetPosition().  These methods take time to do the layout.  I don't want to mention anymore names of other GUI competitors, but usually there is a event that one can subscribe to let us know when all of the layout work has been completed. 

In this use case, I need to highlight one of the items in the scrollView after everything has been laid out.  The hack I'm using now is to call a coRoutine to wait for some time interval after the call to Reposition().  It's much better for the ScrollView to let us know when it has done its work.

They don't take "time" as such, they take a frame, since the Panel has to create the UIDrawCall that actually draws it on screen.

As soon as you've done your "PopulateMethod();" you should be able to do what you need to do following.

You can also force the UIPanel to refresh by calling its Refresh method or BroadcastMessage("CreatePanel") on it.
