    Reverse Scrollbar

    Is it possible to have an horizontal scrollbar act as a vertical scrollbar.
    I have a panel with a HScrollbar at the bottom of it.
    I would like to slide the scrollbar from left to right and have the content of the panel move up or down.

    Thank you,

    Pierre

    You can do this easily with a composite control, but it would be difficult to "re-wire" the existing functionallity.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

    Hi pierrewhy,
    it can be easily achieved with layout transform in WPF.

    I wanted to create a NumericUpDown control that would increase the number in a textbox when scroll up is pressed and decrease when scroll down is pressed. To achieve that I used:

    <ScrollBar Name="scrollBar" Grid.Column="1"
    Value="{Binding Path=Text, ElementName=textBox}"
    Maximum="{Binding MaxValue}"
    Minimum="{Binding MinValue}"
    LargeChange="{Binding Change}"
    SmallChange="{Binding Change}">
    <ScrollBar.LayoutTransform>
    <RotateTransform Angle="180" />
    </ScrollBar.LayoutTransform>
    </ScrollBar>

    The most important for you is the LayoutTransform part.
    I know you probably do not need it, but there are others who might.
    Cheers,
    Michal.

    Michal,

    For WPF that is indeed a good solution. When the question was posted about 3 years ago, the presumption was that it was WinForms....

    That is correct. I just wanted to update the topic for people like me who look for such information now .
