Solution 1

Put it into a ScrollViewer.

Solution 2

Stackpanel doesn't have built in scrolling mechanism but you can always wrap the StackPanel in a ScrollViewer

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
  <StackPanel ... />
</ScrollViewer>

Solution 3

It works like this:

<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Width="340" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,0,0,0">
        <StackPanel Name="stackPanel1" Width="311">

        </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.TextChanged += new TextChangedEventHandler(TextBox_TextChanged);
stackPanel1.Children.Add(tb);

In my WPF application, I have a Stackpanel containing several controls inside them. How can I add a Scrollbar to this stackpanel.

Thanks. After putting a ScrollViewer around it, the entire content doesn't show up. I tried setting Height and Width to Auto, but no luck. Why should only a limited portion show?

I have no clue. Your question was two sentences long which is a bit little detail to anticipate any potential problems.

Got it, I was placing the opening tag in the wrong place. Thanks a lot for the help.

This code is taken out of context. Could you remove the dependencies, so the code is usable without further modifications?

Well, StackPanel does implement IScrollInfo and offers a number of scrolling-related methods. Are you sure it does not have any kind of "built-in" scrolling mechanism?

from msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…... "This property is not intended for use in your code. It is exposed publicly to fulfill an interface contract (IScrollInfo). Setting this property has no effect. If you require physical scrolling instead of logical scrolling, wrap the StackPanel in a ScrollViewer and set its CanContentScroll property to false."
