is there any way to use scrollbar to scroll 3 different textboxes together?

Question

I want to scroll 3 different TextBoxes.

I found some way in here. but in VS2012 I cannot using Windows.Forms which very annoying. I did try to add references but I found no Windows.Form there this is the screenshot:

enter image description here

So I found an idea to use scrollbar, is it possible?

Is your application Winforms? WPF? – Blachshma Dec 10 '12 at 12:32 — Blachshma, Dec 10 '12 at 12:32

in order to use the windows.forms namespace you need to add the System.windows.forms library to your project: Rightclick References (Solution Explorer) -> Add Reference -> .NET-Tab -> select System.Windows.Forms and click ok.

Then you can import the System.Windows.Forms Namespace in every File you'll need it.

there is the code. will copy paste here as mirror if the site goes down:

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="0" Name="scrollViewerLeft" ScrollChanged="scrollViewerLeft_ScrollChanged">
    <ListBox>
        <ListBoxItem>1</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>2</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>3</ListBoxItem>
        ...
        <ListBoxItem>100</ListBoxItem>
    </ListBox>
</ScrollViewer>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="1" Name="scrollViewerMiddle">
    <ListBox>
        <ListBoxItem>1</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>2</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>3</ListBoxItem>
        ...
        <ListBoxItem>100</ListBoxItem>
    </ListBox>
 </ScrollViewer>
 <ScrollViewer Grid.Column="2" Name="scrollViewerRight">
    <ListBox>
        <ListBoxItem>1</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>2</ListBoxItem>
        <ListBoxItem>3</ListBoxItem>
        ...
        <ListBoxItem>100</ListBoxItem>
    </ListBox>
 </ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

and the code behind:

private void scrollViewerLeft_ScrollChanged(object sender, ScrollChangedEventArgs e)
{
    scrollViewerMiddle.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);
    scrollViewerRight.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);
}
private void scrollViewerMiddle_ScrollChanged(object sender, ScrollChangedEventArgs e)
{
    scrollViewerLeft.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);
    scrollViewerRight.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);
}
private void scrollViewerRight_ScrollChanged(object sender, ScrollChangedEventArgs e)
{
    scrollViewerLeft.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);
    scrollViewerMiddle.ScrollToVerticalOffset((sender as ScrollViewer).VerticalOffset);

}

is there any way to use scrollbar to scroll 3 different textboxes together?
