adding a header to a listbox's scrollviewer and keeping the virtualizingStackPanel (wp7)

I want to add a header to my ListBoxes and I do this by using a template. The problem is that if I extend the ListBox's template it seems that the listbox's virtualizingstackpan开发者_开发百科el doesn't work anymore as expected: it loads all content before I can scroll it.

I found some relevant questions in stackoverflow like this (VirtualizingStackPanel stops working when overriding the default control template for ScrollViewer) but the solution given there cannot be applied to WP7: I can't find the property named "CanContentScroll" of the scrollviewer.

my code

<Style x:Key="ListBoxStyle1" TargetType="ListBox">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Disabled"/>
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Auto"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBox">
                <ScrollViewer x:Name="ScrollViewer" 
                     BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" 
                     BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" 
                     Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" 
                     Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" 
                     Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
                    <StackPanel>
                        <TextBlock Text="..."/>
                        <ItemsPresenter/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </ScrollViewer>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

To be honest, I'm really not sure what the actual problem is here; the VirtualizingStackPanel is still in the visual tree, but it seems that none of the items actually added. Enough of the bad news, the good news is I've found a way to work round it, by changing the default style of the ScrollViewer to place the header there instead, which results in two styles that look like this:

<Style x:Key="ScrollViewerStyle1" TargetType="ScrollViewer">
    <Setter Property="VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Auto"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Disabled"/>
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ScrollViewer">
                <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                        BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                        Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                        <VisualStateGroup x:Name="ScrollStates">
                            <VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
                                <VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="00:00:00.5" />
                            </VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
                            <VisualState x:Name="Scrolling">
