Here we have two scrollers, both scrolling a TextBlock Plus. In reality you can specify anything as content, so you could scroll and image or even a Rich Text document. The top scroller is a non-interactive right-to-left scroller, the lower one is a left-to-right scroller and you can interact with the scrolling using the mouse.

}
The Direction property controls how fast and in what direction the content is scrolled and the EnableUserControl property determines whether the user can interact with the scrolling.
