CheckComboBox Lose Tags While Scrolling In Larg List

Describe the bug When using Large List With CheckComboBox After Specific Items Count, we start losing some tags, while we scrolling

I think this happens due to the rendering behavior of the visual tree.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

<hc:CheckComboBox
    FontSize="19"
    VerticalAlignment="Center"
    x:Name="ChBoxList"
/>

in code behind

var ls = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
    ls.Add($"[{i}] Rand ELM");
}

this.ChBoxList.ItemsSource = ls;

Expected behavior Tags should not disappear

Screenshots

I added the order to notice caching/buffer behavior So, if we select item Number 50 And 90 and we Scroll To 120 We Will Lose Item Number 50, but 120 not yet.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• .net: [e.g. 4.7.2]
• IDE Rider 2020.3
• Version 3.0.0

The problem occurs because of this line https://github.com/HandyOrg/HandyControl/blob/e5a94c877aaab8d43f6438ae6962cf2364013ef3/src/Shared/HandyControl_Shared/Controls/Input/CheckComboBox/CheckComboBox.cs#L232

I know that we need to get the template from the current CheckComboBoxItem to have a unified design, But the problem with ItemContainerGenerator is caching mechanism: virtualization,

So we have two solutions

• first : good for GPU Performance, But not for CPU Performance, Also have some issues with prmitive types and this is to implement thing like

private List<CheckComboBoxItem> _latestPopulatedItems = new List<CheckComboBoxItem>();

/// 

// _panel.Children.Clear();

    foreach (var item in SelectedItems)
            {
                if (ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(item) is CheckComboBoxItem checkComboBoxItem)
                {
                    if (_latestPopulatedItems.Contains(checkComboBoxItem))
                    {
                        continue;
                    }
                    
                    _latestPopulatedItems.Add(checkComboBoxItem);
                    
                    var tag = new Tag
                    {
                        Style = TagStyle,
                        Tag = checkComboBoxItem
                    };

                    tag.SetBinding(ContentControl.ContentProperty, new Binding(DisplayMemberPath) { Source = item });
                    _panel.Children.Add(tag);
                }
            }

// then here iterate over _latestPopulatedItems to remove items that do not exist in SelectedItems
// but this will introduce an issue when comparing primitive types, except we used references or unsafe code,
// and we can not force developers to use that

• Second: Bad For GPU If items collection is very large, Good For CPU, One Line Implementation. just stop virtualization VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizing="False"

<hc:CheckComboBox
    FontSize="19"
    VerticalAlignment="Center"
    x:Name="ChBoxList"
VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizing="False"
/>

The Second Solution is the best One, But This Should be Documented For Such Scenario
