Title: UIWrapContent to be used as a 'mainstream' scroll view?
Post by: Antitribu on March 28, 2014, 09:02:50 AM

The newest UIWrapContent seems like a perfect candidate to implement a mainstream scroll view logic — capable of presenting the (possibly) infinite list of uniform items from a data source, yet consuming the absolute minimum of memory (only rendering what's on-screen).

Yet, the only method it presents for such implementation, is 'UpdateItem'. IMHO, another standard method would fit in to complete the concept I am speaking about: 'GetCount' (to specify the end exact number of items to be presented).

Is such a thing planned to include into the UIWrapContent interface, or is it left up to be implemented by hand when needed?

UIWrapContent is meant to be derived from to create custom functionality, so if you wanted to have a finite number of entries, that would be something you'd do in a derived class. I'll likely improve it in the future as I actually use this functionality myself though. I'm always hesitant to add stuff if I don't plan on making use of it myself as I know quality ultimately suffers if I do that.
