Class GridVirtualizingCellRendererBase<D, E>

VirtualizingCellRendererBase is an abstract base class for cell renderers that need live UIElement visuals displayed in a cell. You can derive from this class and provide the type of the UIElement you want to show inside cells as type parameter. The class provides strong typed virtual methods for initializing content of the cell and arranging the cell visuals.

The class manages the creation of cells UIElement objects when the cell is scrolled into view and also unloading of the elements. The class offers an optimization in which elements can be recycled when AllowRecycle is set. In this case when a cell is scrolled out of view it is moved into a recycle bin and the next time a new element is scrolled into view the element is recovered from the recycle bin and reinitialized with the new content of the cell.

when the user moves the mouse over the cell or if the UIElement is needed for other reasons.

After a UIElement was created the virtual methods Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.Cells.GridVirtualizingCellRendererBase`2.WireEditUIElement(`1) and Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.Cells.GridVirtualizingCellRendererBase`2.UnwireEditUIElement(`1) are called to wire any event listeners.

Updates to appearance and content of child elements, creation and unloading of elements will not trigger ArrangeOverride or Render calls in parent canvas.
