Definition

SetText(ReadOnlySpan<char>)

Sets the text content without allocating a managed string.
public void SetText(ReadOnlySpan<char> text)

Parameters

text

ReadOnlySpan<char>
The character span to set as the element's text content.

Remarks

Unlike assigning to TextElement.text, this method writes directly into an internal native buffer and defers string materialization until TextElement.text is read. A ChangeEvent<T> of type 
string
is raised only when listeners for value-change events exist in the element's hierarchy; when no such listeners are present, the method is fully allocation-free.
