WPF: ItemsControl with scrollbar (ScrollViewer)

Xuntar picture Xuntar · Jan 8, 2010 · Viewed 103.2k times · Source

I followed this small "tutorial" on how to add a scrollbar to an ItemsControl, and it works in Designer view, but not when I compile and execute the program (only the first few items show up, and no scrollbar to view more - even when VerticalScrollbarVisibility is set to "Visible" instead of "Auto").

Any idea on how to solve this?


This is the code I use to show my items (normally I work with Databinding, but to see the items in my Designer I added them manually):

<ItemsControl x:Name="itemCtrl" Style="{DynamicResource UsersControlStyle}">
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top">
            </StackPanel>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>

    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
</ItemsControl>

And this is my Template:

<Style x:Key="UsersControlStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
                <Border SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
                    <ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
                        <ItemsPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
                    </ScrollViewer>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

To get a scrollbar for an ItemsControl, you can host it in a ScrollViewer like this:

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
  <ItemsControl>
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
    <uc:UcSpeler />
  </ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>
