In the example below I have a ListBox with dozens of font names in it.
I would have thought it would automatically have a vertical scrollbar on it so that you can select ANY font, not just the first ones in the list, but it doesn't.
So I added a "ScrollViewer" and that puts a "scrollbar area" on the right but there is no scrollbar in the scrollbar area so that you can scroll (!).
Why isn't a scrollbar automatic and how do I force it to have a scrollbar?
<StackPanel Name="stack1">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ScrollViewer>
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" Name="lstFonts" Margin="3" ItemsSource="{x:Static Fonts.SystemFontFamilies}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
The problem with your solution is you're putting a scrollbar around a ListBox where you probably want to put it inside the ListBox.
If you want to force a scrollbar in your ListBox, use the ScrollBar.VerticalScrollBarVisibility attached property.
<ListBox
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
</ListBox>
Setting this value to Auto will popup the scrollbar on an as needed basis.
