disable mouse wheel on itemscontrol in wpf

by

This can be accomplished via attached behaviors.

So instead I came up with the following IgnoreMouseWheelBehavior. Technically it’s not ignoring the MouseWheel, but it is “forwarding” the event back up and out of the ListBox. Check it.

/// <summary>
/// Captures and eats MouseWheel events so that a nested ListBox does not
/// prevent an outer scrollable control from scrolling.
/// </summary>
public sealed class IgnoreMouseWheelBehavior : Behavior<UIElement>
{

  protected override void OnAttached( )
  {
     base.OnAttached( );
      AssociatedObject.PreviewMouseWheel += AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseWheel ;
  }

  protected override void OnDetaching( )
  {
      AssociatedObject.PreviewMouseWheel -= AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseWheel;
      base.OnDetaching( );
  }

  void AssociatedObject_PreviewMouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
  {

      e.Handled = true;

      var e2 = new MouseWheelEventArgs(e.MouseDevice,e.Timestamp,e.Delta);
      e2.RoutedEvent = UIElement.MouseWheelEvent;

      AssociatedObject.RaiseEvent(e2);

  }

}

And here’s how you would use it in XAML.

<ScrollViewer Name="IScroll">
    <ListBox Name="IDont">
        <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
            <local:IgnoreMouseWheelBehavior />
        </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    </ListBox>
</ScrollViewer>

Where the i namespace is:

 xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"

Note that you will need the Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf nuget package to use this.
