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.

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 ;).

Just remember there is a DIFFERENT forum here for WPF....
