Assuming that we can understand your problem without knowing the
internals of what you're doing is also not realistic. As I tried to
explain to you, I coudn't figure out what you were trying to do, and how
you tried it. In that case: we can't help you.

So now I understand what your problem is: actually it's not a problem
with applyUpdates, but you want that it's called 'automagically'.

I think you'd better place the ApplyUpdates in the after-scroll event,
in that case. That's much easier. But your approach will also work.

This could also help: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

That's always a good idea. ;)
