How to Disable ScrollViewer When WPF Docking Containing MDI Document?

Overview

This article provides a detailed guide on how to control the ScrollViewer behavior when a WPF DockingManager contains an MDI Document window. By default, the ScrollViewer appears when an item is placed beyond the view. This article explains how to disable it using the IsEnabledScroll property.

Solution

To control the ScrollViewer behavior, use the IsEnabledScroll property of the DocumentContainer. By default, IsEnabledScroll is set to true, meaning the ScrollViewer appears when necessary. Setting this property to false ensures that no scrollbars appear, keeping all content within the visible viewport without scrolling.

Implementation

Use the following approach in C# or VB.NET

C# Code

(dockingManager.DocContainer as DocumentContainer).IsEnabledScroll = false;

VB.NET Code

TryCast(dockingManager.DocContainer, DocumentContainer).IsEnabledScroll = False
