DataGrid - CellTemplateSelector is missing

[Symbai]

WPF's DataGrid CellTemplateSelector property is missing in Avalonia. Is there any existing equivalent? It is needed to show different template based on for example what item the column is bound to.

There is a hack that allows to use different data templates for different types in cell. You should override DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate with ContentControl and define your templates inside <ContentControl.DataTemplates>

Is there any progress without the hack?

Avalonia IDataTemplate naturally act as both DataTemplate and DataTemplateSelector.

I think this is the answer here as well: #15380 (comment)

In my opinion, this is by design in Avalonia and should be a Q&A instead.

In the Datagrid we can add a DataGridTemplateColumn, which accepst one DataTemplate (see here).

If I want to support multiple DataTemplates the trick is to add a ContentControl inside the CellTemplate and so via the ViewLocator or local DataTemplates I can load different views. What I have is that the DataGridTemplateColumn directly accepts multiple DataTemplates and a binding to the property that can be different ViewModels.
