Is there an alternative to a WPF WrapPanel that wraps after a certain number of items, not a height?

Question

Normally a WPF WrapPanel (Orientation="Vertical") will stack items vertically (and grow vertically) until it runs out of space from the parent container, and then it will "wrap" to the next column.

I want this functionality, but I want to add a hard limit to the number of items in a column. For instance, if my height is 100 and I have 3 items that are 30 pixels high, normally it could fit them all without wrapping. However, say I want to force it to wrap after 2. In that case, I want it to only grow to a height of 60, and wrap the 3rd item into the second column.

Is there something I can do to make this happen?

Maybe you can do it with the UniformGrid.
Use the Rows property to definie the amount of elements in vertical direction.

This works, with the exception that it lays out in the Horizontal direction, and there's no way to override that. – Scott Whitlock Sep 15 '11 at 17:06

here is a nice little article about the available layout panels in WPF. If one of these does not fit the bill, you might have to build your own custom panel, here is a decent demo.
