Question

I want to add a border to my ScrollViewer. The border should only be shown when the ScrollBar of the ScrollViewer is Visible (VerticalScrollBarVisibility set to “Auto”)

Thank you!

Answer 1

Use Binding and Converter.

public sealed class VisibilityToBorderThicknessConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        try
        {
            var flag = (Visibility)value;
            if (flag == Visibility.Visible)
                return new Thickness(0);
            else
                return new Thickness(1);
        }
        catch
        {
            return new Thickness(0);
        }
    }
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
          throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

and than your xaml:

 <ScrollViewer Name="blah">
      <Border BorderThickness="{Binding ElementName=blah, Path=VerticalScrollBarVisibility , Converter={StaticResources VisibilityToBorder}}">
 </ScrollViewer>

don’t forget to add your converter to resources!
