How can I get a vertical scrollbar in my ListBox?

Question

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> 

Answer 1

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.
