How do I make a multiple stacks of controls (columns) scrollable?

Question

Hi, so I'm new to using WPF and can't figure out how to make an easy way to have multiple columns of controls that can be added / subtracted easily and still have it scrollable. So for example (my situation), I have two text boxes and a button that need to be added for however many "items" there are. I would want these together in a 3 column layout and all scroll with the same scroll bar.

The best case result would be something like multiple stack panels (in my case 3) filled with an arbitrary amount of controls, that all scroll with the same scroll bar. Since this seems not to work, what do I do instead?

Much appreciated, no matter how inane my questions are you guys are always so helpful.

Answer 1

I think a WrapPanel is what you want.

I've found this tutorial which explains its use succinctly. If you set the Orientation="Vertical" it should layout as you want.

The Panels MSDN page gives more information on the different panels and how they should be used. The WrapPanel page is here

Answer 2

Have you tried putting all three StackPanels into a ScrollViewer?

<ScrollViewer ...>
  <Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition/>
        <ColumnDefinition/>
        <ColumnDefinition/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <StackPanel Grid.Column="0" ...>
       ...
    </StackPanel>
    <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" ...>
       ...
    </StackPanel>
    <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" ...>
       ...
    </StackPanel>
  </Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
