To check that the scrollbar in your ListBox scrolls its contents you need to make sure the ListBox has a constrained height or is inside a container with limited size Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 Item 6 Item 7 Item 8 Item 9 Item 10 Item 11 Item 12 Item 13 The ListBox needs to have a constrained height or width. In the example the Grid container implicitly limits the size of the ListBox based on the Window size. ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility=Auto ensures the vertical scrollbar appears when needed. You can use ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility=Auto for a horizontal scrollbar if required.

I would suggest using a ScrollViewer instead of relying on VerticalScrollBarVisibility . See this example...

In XAML the ListBox control automatically provides scrollbars when its content exceeds the available space. However if you want to ensure that the vertical scrollbar is always visible you can set the ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility property to Visible as you've already done in your example. Here's a simple way to add scrollbars to a ListBox : Setting VerticalScrollBarVisibility to Auto will show the scrollbar only when needed while Visible will always show it. You can also add items to the ListBox to see the scrollbars in action.
