Create a method in the code-behind that sets the ListBox's MaxHeight to the height of whatever control is containing it and other controls. If the Listbox has any controls/margins/padding above or below it, subtract their heights from the container height assigned to MaxHeight. Call this method in the main windows "loaded" and "window resize" event handlers.

This should give you the best of both worlds. You are giving the ListBox a "fixed" size that will cause it to scroll in spite of the fact that the main window has its own scrollbar.
