Question

I have a ScrollViewer that contains a StackedPanel with rectangles laid out horizontally. I want to be able to scroll horizontally, but this isn’t happening for me. Here is my XAML:

<common:LayoutAwarePage
    x:Name="pageRoot"
    x:Class="BlastSwing.GroupedItemsPage"
    DataContext="{Binding DefaultViewModel, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
    IsTabStop="false"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="using:BlastSwing"
    xmlns:data="using:BlastSwing.Data"
    xmlns:common="using:BlastSwing.Common"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d">

    <Page.Resources>

        <!--
            Collection of grouped items displayed by this page, bound to a subset
            of the complete item list because items in groups cannot be virtualized
        -->
        <CollectionViewSource
            x:Name="groupedItemsViewSource"
            Source="{Binding Groups}"
            IsSourceGrouped="true"
            ItemsPath="TopItems"
            d:Source="{Binding AllGroups, Source={d:DesignInstance Type=data:SampleDataSource, IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}}"/>
    </Page.Resources>

    <!--
        This grid acts as a root panel for the page that defines two rows:

        * Row 1 contains the rest of the page layout
    -->
    <Grid Style="{StaticResource LayoutRootStyle}">

        <!-- Back button and page title -->

                -->
                <VisualState x:Name="Snapped">

    </Grid>
</common:LayoutAwarePage>

Answer 1

You are setting Scrollviewer’s Width=”1366″ which is more than your child stackpanel Width=”1313″.

If you want to see the horizontal scrollbar then you might want to set the size of ScrollViewer less than 1313 and it should be able to display the horizontal scrollbar as it is not able to display the content fully.
