Creating a Scrollable StackPanel Control

Question

How would I create a control like the example at this site as a User Control?

So, instead of doing this:

<ScrollViewer>
    <StackPanel>
        <!– Content –>
    </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

I could do this:

<ScrollableStackPanel>
    <!– Content –>
</ScrollableStackPanel>

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that as a UserControl in WPF. You would need to make a custom control (instead of a user control) based on ItemsControl. It could handle this correctly.

That being said, I don't see much point in this. It's very easy to just put your StackPanel within a ScrollViewer - why reinvent the wheel?

Answer 2

It looks like you just need to use a ListBox. You can override the ItemContainterStyle and ListBox.Style to get rid of all the Selected behaviours and backgrounds if you want. Because a ListBox has StackPanel and ScrollViewer in it by default.
