How to add toolbar to bottom, top, left, or right of the inside of a listbox in WPF?

Question

I have a listbox with a style that has rounded corners. I'd like to add a toolbar inside the listbox that pertains to that specific list box. Currently, if I add a toolbar inside the grid that contains a listbox, it will overlap the last item in the row (depending on the height of the toolbar). Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to implement this? I know I could create a border control that matches the look of the listbox edges and then place a listbox that has a style without borders inside the main border stacked with the toolbar at the bottom, but I'm hoping there is a better way to keep my current listbox style and just place a toolbar inside the bottom of the listbox that doesn't hide any listbox items.

Thanks,

John

Most likely you have something declared wrong in your code if things are being overlapped visually. You should have your ListBox declared with Grid.Row="0" and your toolbar as Grid.Row="1" (or something similar) if you'd like them not to overlap. This MSDN article explains grid layouts well.

If your ListBoxItems are not databound, you can just add a ListBoxItem with a custom style as the last item in your list. Otherwise you can use a DataTemplateSelector to format your item styles based on the content bound within.
