Lazy Loading Images is a set of techniques in web and application development that defer the loading of images on a page to a later point in time - when those images are actually needed, instead of loading them up front. These techniques help in improving performance, better utilization of the device’s resources, and reducing associated costs.

Any updates on this? I am coming from webdev and this would be a nice feature to have. I found this thread which I'm sure some of the solutions in there could be adapted to use this library

This thread actually doesn't contains any real suggestions about the web-like lazy loading. It only contains the samples of async loading and hints about virtualization, which already implemented in this library.

Currently i've still doesn't have a proper ideas how to determine, if current control is actually visible for user and how to listen to events about this. But, I will spend some time to dig deeper to this topic. If you have any suggestions - feel free to share it here.

I don't think it's worth implementing this. If you want to load a huge list of images, just use virtualization instead.
