Allow custom columns

[dotMorten]

You can't currently inherit from DataGridColumn, since it contains several internal abstract members.
To simplify column creation for certain types, it would be much easier to be able to create your own columns by overriding CreateContainer and return your own framework element.

Hi @dotMorten ,
For such scenarios where the content of the cell needs to be customized with a specific FrameworkElement the Template Column could be used:

Could you please give it a try?

@APopatanasov I'm well aware of template columns, but these don't let you run more customized code tailored for certain types, where you return which set of controls you want based on logic. The only thing you can return there are data templates, which can't be created at runtime.
