I have the following xaml for WPF ListBox control. I have customized it so suit my UI requirements. However, the scrollbar thumb won’t reach the top & bottom of the scrollbar. Also the thumb won’t scroll if I click elsewhere on the vertical scrollbar track. Please help me resolve the issues. Any help is appreciated.
This is the snapshot of the ListBox control i have customized :

The behaviour you’re seeing is because the scrollbar thumb is proportional. Compare the two thumbs in the image below.
The thumb is actually using 75% of the height of the scrollbar because the list box is displaying 9 of the 12 items., but you have set the height of your custom thumb to 25. Remove the “height=25” attribute and it will behave properly.
