Animated (Smooth) scrolling on ScrollViewer
In your example there are two controls inherited from ScrollViewer and ListBox, the animation is implemented by SplineDoubleKeyFrame [MSDN]. In my time, I realized animation scrolling via the attached dependency property VerticalOffsetProperty, which allows you to directly transfer offset scrollbar into a double animation, like this:
DoubleAnimation verticalAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
verticalAnimation.From = scrollViewer.VerticalOffset;
verticalAnimation.To = some value;
verticalAnimation.Duration = new Duration( some duration );
Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard();
storyboard.Children.Add(verticalAnimation);
Storyboard.SetTarget(verticalAnimation, scrollViewer);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(verticalAnimation, new PropertyPath(ScrollAnimationBehavior.VerticalOffsetProperty)); // Attached dependency property
storyboard.Begin();
Examples can be found here:
How to: Animate the Horizontal/VerticalOffset properties of a ScrollViewer
WPF - Animate ListBox.ScrollViewer.HorizontalOffset?
In this case, works well smooth scrolling of the content and the Thumb. Based on this approach, and using your example [How To Create An Animated ScrollViewer (or ListBox) in WPF], I created an attached behavior ScrollAnimationBehavior, which can be applied to ScrollViewerand ListBox.
Example of using:
XAML

Output
IsEnabled property is responsible for the scrolling animation for ScrollViewer and for ListBox. Below its implementation:
public static DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsEnabled",
typeof(bool),
typeof(ScrollAnimationBehavior),
new UIPropertyMetadata(false, OnIsEnabledChanged));
public static void SetIsEnabled(FrameworkElement target, bool value)
{
target.SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);
}
public static bool GetIsEnabled(FrameworkElement target)
{
return (bool)target.GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);
}
private static void OnIsEnabledChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var target = sender;
if (target != null && target is ScrollViewer)
{
ScrollViewer scroller = target as ScrollViewer;
scroller.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(scrollerLoaded);
}
if (target != null && target is ListBox)
{
ListBox listbox = target as ListBox;
listbox.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(listboxLoaded);
}
}
In these Loaded handlers are set event handlers for PreviewMouseWheel and PreviewKeyDown.
Helpers (auxiliary procedures) are taken from the example and provide a value of double type, which is passed to the procedure AnimateScroll(). Here and are the magic key of animation:
private static void AnimateScroll(ScrollViewer scrollViewer, double ToValue)
{
DoubleAnimation verticalAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
verticalAnimation.From = scrollViewer.VerticalOffset;
verticalAnimation.To = ToValue;
verticalAnimation.Duration = new Duration(GetTimeDuration(scrollViewer));
Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard();
storyboard.Children.Add(verticalAnimation);
Storyboard.SetTarget(verticalAnimation, scrollViewer);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(verticalAnimation, new PropertyPath(ScrollAnimationBehavior.VerticalOffsetProperty));
storyboard.Begin();
}
Some notes
The example only implemented vertical animation, if you will accept this project, you will realize itself without problems horizontal animation.
Selection of the current item in
ListBoxnot transferred to the next element of this is due to the interception of eventsPreviewKeyDown, so you have to think about this moment.This implementation is fully suited for the MVVM pattern. To use this behavior in the
Blend, you need to inherit interfaceBehavior. Example can be found here and here.

For those getting here from google Anatoliy's code works, but has some issues with mouse wheel scrolling specifically.
Scrolling without Fix (Keep in mind i am attempting to rapid scroll to the bottom)
Scrolling with Fix
(self plug, you can find out what this application is over Here)
Let's take a look at why.
#region ScrollViewerPreviewMouseWheel Event Handler
private static void ScrollViewerPreviewMouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
{
double mouseWheelChange = (double)e.Delta;
ScrollViewer scroller = (ScrollViewer)sender;
double newVOffset = GetVerticalOffset(scroller) - (mouseWheelChange / 3);
if (newVOffset < 0)
{
AnimateScroll(scroller, 0);
}
else if (newVOffset > scroller.ScrollableHeight)
{
AnimateScroll(scroller, scroller.ScrollableHeight);
}
else
{
AnimateScroll(scroller, newVOffset);
}
e.Handled = true;
}
In this handler code, you'll notice that it is called every time you scroll the mouse wheel. So when you hit it with rapid scrolling the animation doesn't have time to complete, and you are stuck attempting to scroll from where you are in the middle of the animation. This causes jittery slow scrolling when attempting to scroll faster.
Additionally their code here:
private static void AnimateScroll(ScrollViewer scrollViewer, double ToValue)
{
DoubleAnimation verticalAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
verticalAnimation.From = scrollViewer.VerticalOffset;
verticalAnimation.To = ToValue;
verticalAnimation.Duration = new Duration(GetTimeDuration(scrollViewer));
Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard();
storyboard.Children.Add(verticalAnimation);
Storyboard.SetTarget(verticalAnimation, scrollViewer);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(verticalAnimation, new PropertyPath(ScrollAnimationBehavior.VerticalOffsetProperty));
storyboard.Begin();
}
Has unneeded storyboard implementation, that can be removed to make the scroll animation interruptible, which is what we will need to in order to smooth out rapid scrolling.
At the top of their code we are going to add a new variable.
public static class ScrollAnimationBehavior
{
public static double intendedLocation = 0;
...
We need to save the intended location of the animation, so that if we call the scroller event again, we can jump to that location right away before starting the next animation call.
Now there's something else we have to change. The intendedLocation needs to be updated when the user either uses one of the keydown events (Page up or page down) or if they manually move the scrollbar with the mouse.
So we need to add another event to handle the left mouse button up on the scrollviewer, and when the mouse is lifted (put at intended location) then we can change the intended location, so that the scroll wheel gets the updated position.
private static void SetEventHandlersForScrollViewer(ScrollViewer scroller)
{
scroller.PreviewMouseWheel += new MouseWheelEventHandler(ScrollViewerPreviewMouseWheel);
scroller.PreviewKeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(ScrollViewerPreviewKeyDown);
scroller.PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp += Scroller_PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp;
}
private static void Scroller_PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
intendedLocation = ((ScrollViewer)sender).VerticalOffset;
}
We still need to update the page up and page down area as well though.
private static void ScrollViewerPreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
ScrollViewer scroller = (ScrollViewer)sender;
Key keyPressed = e.Key;
double newVerticalPos = GetVerticalOffset(scroller);
bool isKeyHandled = false;
if (keyPressed == Key.Down)
{
newVerticalPos = NormalizeScrollPos(scroller, (newVerticalPos + GetPointsToScroll(scroller)), Orientation.Vertical);
intendedLocation = newVerticalPos;
isKeyHandled = true;
}
else if (keyPressed == Key.PageDown)
{
newVerticalPos = NormalizeScrollPos(scroller, (newVerticalPos + scroller.ViewportHeight), Orientation.Vertical);
intendedLocation = newVerticalPos;
isKeyHandled = true;
}
else if (keyPressed == Key.Up)
{
newVerticalPos = NormalizeScrollPos(scroller, (newVerticalPos - GetPointsToScroll(scroller)), Orientation.Vertical);
intendedLocation = newVerticalPos;
isKeyHandled = true;
}
else if (keyPressed == Key.PageUp)
{
newVerticalPos = NormalizeScrollPos(scroller, (newVerticalPos - scroller.ViewportHeight), Orientation.Vertical);
intendedLocation = newVerticalPos;
isKeyHandled = true;
}
if (newVerticalPos != GetVerticalOffset(scroller))
{
intendedLocation = newVerticalPos;
AnimateScroll(scroller, newVerticalPos);
}
e.Handled = isKeyHandled;
}
Now that we have the non-mousewheel events handled to update the intended location, let's fix up the mouse wheel event.
private static void ScrollViewerPreviewMouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
{
double mouseWheelChange = (double)e.Delta;
ScrollViewer scroller = (ScrollViewer)sender;
double newVOffset = intendedLocation - (mouseWheelChange * 2);
//Incase we got hit by the mouse again. jump to the offset.
scroller.ScrollToVerticalOffset(intendedLocation);
if (newVOffset < 0)
{
newVOffset = 0;
}
if (newVOffset > scroller.ScrollableHeight)
{
newVOffset = scroller.ScrollableHeight;
}
AnimateScroll(scroller, newVOffset);
intendedLocation = newVOffset;
e.Handled = true;
}
So the changes are as follows
Changed newVOffset to function from the intendedLocation and the mouseWheelChange.
Cleaned up when the newVOffset is over or under acceptable boundaries.
We jumped to the intendedLocation, which was created by the last scrollwheel event with where it wanted to go.
If you want to change the "speed" of the scroll simply change
double newVOffset = intendedLocation - (mouseWheelChange * 2);
You can change the modifier from times 2 to times 5 for faster or times 1 for slower.
With all the events handled now, let's make the animation cancel itself, so this all has a point.
private static void AnimateScroll(ScrollViewer scrollViewer, double ToValue)
{
scrollViewer.BeginAnimation(VerticalOffsetProperty, null);
DoubleAnimation verticalAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
verticalAnimation.From = scrollViewer.VerticalOffset;
verticalAnimation.To = ToValue;
verticalAnimation.Duration = new Duration(GetTimeDuration(scrollViewer));
scrollViewer.BeginAnimation(VerticalOffsetProperty, verticalAnimation);
}
So what we did here was remove the storyboard, and nullified any existing animation so that we can start with a fresh new one.
