No problem :) Basically, components are sized and positioned (and painted) on a separate event loop than your application code (for performance reasons). So if you add data to your table data, the table view says "I'll need to grow myself to accommodate this new data... but I'll wait until the next event loop". Thus, *immediately* after you add that table data, the table view is smaller than it needs to be. So if you tell it to scroll to the bottom, it'll only scroll to the bottom based on its too-small size. By queueing a callback, you're saying "let the table view grow to its needed size, *then* scroll to the bottom".
You won't run into these cases that often, but they come up every now and then. -T On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 6:15 AM, Mathias Versichele < [email protected]> wrote: > Don't exactly know what that code does, but it works :-) Thanks > > 2010/2/26 Todd Volkert <[email protected]> > > My guess is that you're calling this after the table view has been >> invalidated but before it's been laid out.
