Scrolling a TextBlock

I have a TextBlock and a Textbox in the same location. Depending on what mode the user is in, I make one visible and the other collapsed. This is working fine, but how can I make the Textblock scrollable? I figured I should use a ScrollViewer, but I don't know why it's not working. I've tried messing around with the height (auto and fixed), but it won't scroll. My xaml is this:

<ScrollViewer x:Name="detailsScroller" Height="285" Width="480"  Canvas.Top="76" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
    <Canvas x:Name="infoCanvas" Width="478"  >
     <TextBlock x:Name="textblockInfo" TextWrapping="Wrap"  Width="462" Height="197"  Canvas.Left="8"/>
     <TextBox x:Name="textboxInfo" TextWrapping="Wrap"  Width="478" AcceptsReturn="True" Height="300" Visibility="Collapsed" />
    </Canvas>
</ScrollViewer>

Thanks!

Solution

  • You might like to refer to the discussion and MSFT confirmation that text control scrolling is still a work in progress as at the current CTP. Beta shouldnt be too far away, hopefully more on this then.
