Vista - How To Make A Listbox Behave like XBOX 360 Dashboard

On the 360 dashboard whenever there is a list of items, they never
scroll. Instead there is a fixed # of visible items (say 6) . All 6
items are selectable. But when the user moves to an item beyond the
visible 6 no visible scrolling takes place. Instead the contents of
the 6 items just shifts either up or down by one item. The advantage
of this is that you never have a partial item visible or a scroll that
moves unevenly.

How best should this be done in WPF. Would this require a custom list
control or is there a way thru templating that I don't see that this
can be accomplished. I'd greatly appreciate any help or a pointer to
an example that if there is one. Thanks very much.

You would probably need to implement IScrollInfo yourself. Ben
Constable gives a great overview in a series of blog posts starting
here http://blogs.msdn.com/bencon/archive...05/509991.aspx

Some of it was written while WPF was still in pre-release, but I don't
think anything was broken in the interim.

Hope this helps
