In #4218 we imported `IElementFactory` from WinUI which is broadly analogous to a recycling datatemplate for lists. In Avalonia this implement `IDataTemplate` in order to have a common base class for all types of data templates.
The problem with this is that `IDataTemplate` already had a `SupportsRecycling` property which is incompatible with the way recycling is implemented in `IElementFactory`. Instead, introduce an `IRecyclingDataTemplate` to signal data templates that support recycling.
Previously it wasn't clear which constructor on `InstancedBinding` must be called for a particular binding mode. Refactored the constructors:
- We now have a single public ctor which takes an `ISubject`, as a subject can be used for all binding modes.
- Instanced bindings with other sources such as single values and `IObservables` are now constructed via static methods which only allow the correct sources for that binding mode
- Set `InheritanceParent` before Parent so that control doesn't
initially inherit the wrong DataContext
- Don't set `InheritanceParent` when setting `Parent` if
`InheritanceParent` already set
- Added `IDataTemplate.SupportsRecycling`
This is needed so that things like the following can be done:
<TreeView>
<TreeView.Styles>
<Style Selector="TreeViewItem">
<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding IsExpanded}"/>
</Style>
</TreeView.Styles>
<TreeView>
(At the moment we have TreeDataTemplate.IsExpanded but this isn't good
enough: it only supports setting IsExpanded on creation of the item with
no binding.)
With this commit, setters can now contain bindings, but they aren't yet
applied correctly. As part of this commit, classes related to binding
have been moved to the Perspex.Data namespace.
