We're using Xamarin.Forms
with MacOS
, and have a custom view MyCustomView : Xamarin.Forms.ContentView
, and I'm trying to create a custom view renderer for our view, but it's interfering with the rendered view.
Does anyone know how to create a view renderer in my platform project?
This is the code I've tried so far, looking at similar places:
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.ExportRenderer(typeof(MyCustomView), typeof(MyCustomViewRenderer))]
namespace Mac.Renderers
{
public class MyCustomViewRenderer : ViewRenderer<Xamarin.Forms.ContentView, AppKit.NSView>
{
public MyCustomViewRenderer()
{
// My implementation
}
}
}
Event when the implementation is left blank, having this custom renderer is affecting the display of the ContentView, so I think this code must not be right - is there a way to do this?

You could fix your issue by changing your class to inherit from VisualElementRenderer<T>
instead.
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.ExportRenderer(typeof(MyCustomView), typeof(MyCustomViewRenderer))]
namespace Mac.Renderers
{
public class MyCustomViewRenderer : VisualElementRenderer<ContentView>
{
public MyCustomViewRenderer()
{
// My implementation
}
}
}
Page has a default Renderer "PageRenderer", do not understand why ContentView does not. It would be nice if there was a ContentViewRenderer.
Hope this helps.-
