If you cast your service call result to a [Bindable] collection, and bind the collection to the ComboBox's dataProvider, the ComboBox should display populated. With binding you don't have to worry about timing. When the ComboBox is instantiated it will pull the data; if it exists. If not, the data will get pushed to the ComboBox; when it arrives.
