You can always call validateNow() to force validation, but you shouldn't be drawing in commitProperties in most cases. Most drawing should be in updateDisplayList

I can't seem to get the width/height at measure() or updateDisplayList(). Is there a specific function I have to call? Isn't there a way to get the height/width before measure? I'm drawing during commit properties so I would like to get it then.
