Hello,

i created a Usercontrol with a ScrollViewer inside. I would prefer if i would add my user control into an application and would c set on my user control the properties of the vertical and horizontal scrollbar visibility , it would change the scrollviewer inside my user control,, also is the one that i would mean if i would change properties in the Properties Panel from Visual Studio. How can i reference the ScrollViewer in my CustomControl to be the standard ScrolllViewer?

<UserControl x:Class="_PreviewPanel.PreviewPanel"

<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="{Binding HorizontalScrollBarVisibility}"> 
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"/>
<ScrollViewer>

    You could customize dependency properties(ShowScrollbar) for UserControl and bind HorizontalScrollBarVisibility to the dependency property.
    Then you can change the HorizontalScrollBarVisibility of ScrollViewer by setting the custom dependency property (ShowScrollbar) of UserControl in the property panel of the wpf program. The code is as follows.

    The code of UserControl:

    <UserControl x:Class="WpfControlLibrary1.UserControl1"  
                 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  
                 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  
                 xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"   
                 xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"   
                 xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfControlLibrary1"  
                 mc:Ignorable="d"   
                 d:DesignHeight="400" d:DesignWidth="300">  
    
        <ScrollViewer x:Name="scroll" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="{Binding ShowScrollbar}">  
            <StackPanel Name="LayoutRoot" Background="AliceBlue">  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Width="320" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
                <TextBlock Height="80" Background="PaleGoldenrod"/>  
            </StackPanel>  
        </ScrollViewer>  
    </UserControl>  
    

    The code of UserControl.cs:

    using System.Windows;  
    using System.Windows.Controls;  
    
    namespace WpfControlLibrary1  
    {  
        public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl  
        {  
            public UserControl1()  
            {  
                InitializeComponent();  
            }  
        public static readonly DependencyProperty ShowScrollbarProperty =  
      DependencyProperty.Register("ShowScrollbar", typeof(bool), typeof(UserControl1),  
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new PropertyChangedCallback(AdjustControl)));  
    
        public bool ShowScrollbar  
        {  
          get  
          {  
            return (bool)GetValue(ShowScrollbarProperty);  
          }  
          set  
          {  
            SetValue(ShowScrollbarProperty, value);  
          }  
        }  
        private static void AdjustControl(DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)  
        {  
          (source as UserControl1).UpdateControls((bool)e.NewValue);  
        }  
    
        private void UpdateControls(bool showScrollbar)  
        {  
          scroll.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility = (showScrollbar ? ScrollBarVisibility.Visible : ScrollBarVisibility.Hidden);  
        }  
      }  
    }  
    

    The code of xaml:

     <Window  
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  
                xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"  
                xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"  
                xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CustomScrollViewer"  
                xmlns:WpfControlLibrary1="clr-namespace:WpfControlLibrary1;assembly=WpfControlLibrary1" x:Class="CustomScrollViewer.MainWindow"  
                mc:Ignorable="d"  
                Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">  
            <Grid>  
                <WpfControlLibrary1:UserControl1 HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100"  Margin="117,165,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" ShowScrollbar="True"/>  
            </Grid>  
        </Window>
