Windows 8 - ListView using Horizontal items panel doesn't scroll

I have a ListView and I've simply replaced the ItemsPanel template with a StackPanel that's in horizontal mode, like so:

<ListView.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
        <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>

However the items don't extend beyond the right hand side of the screen and thus, there's effectively no scrolling in any direction.

I copied the code from a //build/ session, so what did I miss?

Solution

  • You missed the configuration of the scroll viewer like this:

    <ListView
   ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
   ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollMode="Enabled"
   ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollMode="Disabled" 
   ... > ...
