How to know when menu is "open" using ECSlidingViewController

Question

I am using the ecsliding for a menu in my app. I was wondering how to know when the menu is open and when it has control. I am trying to do themes in the menu and am having issues because I "reset" the colours on viewdidload and viewdidappear (for the main "top" view controller").

Essentially :

User opens menu, selects colour, closes menu and colours should change... but since the rightviewcontroller is not actually being fully "added" I don't think the viewdidload and viewdidappear methods get called when I close the menu...

Sorry for the rambling...

Any help?

Thanks

Andy

According to the docs you should be able to interrogate the currentTopViewPosition property.

This is defined as

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, ECSlidingViewControllerTopViewPosition) {
    /** The top view is on anchored to the left */
    ECSlidingViewControllerTopViewPositionAnchoredLeft,
    /** The top view is on anchored to the right */
    ECSlidingViewControllerTopViewPositionAnchoredRight,
    /** The top view is centered */
    ECSlidingViewControllerTopViewPositionCentered
};

It looks like you can access the instance of ECSlidingViewController that contains your view controller using the UIViewController(ECSlidingViewController)category methodslidingViewController`
