Custom ViewBase Implementation For ListView

Does anyone have any experience, thoughts or exam开发者_JS百科ple code about implementing a custom ViewBase as used in ListView.View ?

To date, the only control in the framework that inherits from 'ViewBase' is the GridView. I want to create something equally complex but not quite sure where to start. I have reflected many of the classes involved in the current GridView implementation, but none of it really makes any sense yet. I have a sneaky suspicion that ListView, its 'View' property and the GridView are more closely related than it would appear at first glance, and achieving my goal may not be possible in any practical sense (but this is just a hunch)
