Virtualized panel that arranges children uniformly

I am trying to use a GridView that will arrange it's child uniformly, much like the UnifromGrid of Community Toolkit, but a virtualizing one.

The reason I cannot use the default Itemspanel of GridView is that I think it determines the size of all other cells by the 1st cell, look at this:

enter image description here

Notice the blank spaces on the right and also, Items having bigger dimensions are being clipped with the size of the 1st Item.

I tried using the `UniformGrid', but it's not virtualized and my app actually struggles sometimes and becomes very laggy when there are a lot of Items.

I also tried to extend VirtualizingPanel to create a custom Panel, but it's not possible for now.

Is there any thing that I can do now to solve this issue? Thanks.

Solution

  • What about using the AdaptiveGridView control from the Windows Community Toolkit? It will allow you to resize the items automatically based on the available width. However, making the items exactly square would be a challenge, as it changes the width with how the window expands.
