Customizing the Scroller With Styles

The Scroller control can be skinned using the standard Silverlight 2 method of setting Styles in the App.xaml file of your Silverlight project.


Example of how to Apply a Skin to the Scroller

These styles are placed in your XAML and referred to using the Style property:


    <Style TargetType="local:Scroller">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:Scroller">
                    <Grid x:Name="RootElement">
                        <Canvas x:Name="ElementCanvas" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                            <Canvas.Clip>
                                <RectangleGeometry x:Name="ElementClipping" />
                            </Canvas.Clip>
                            <ContentPresenter x:Name="ElementContent" Canvas.Left="{TemplateBinding HorizontalOffset}" Canvas.Top="{TemplateBinding VerticalOffset}" />
                        </Canvas>
                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>


As you can see, styling is a powerful method of customizing the controls to suite the look and feel of your Silverlight application.
