Description

Because this property is public it means that developers can accidently set it directly, even if the layouts target doesn't support virtualization.

Instead a much cleaner approach would be for LayoutBase to only have a getter.

In LayoutBase.updateDisplayList(), the layout should set this private property by retrieving the value from its target. It would then subsequently call updateDisplayListVirtual() or updateDisplayListReal().
