I believe you can see if the control "requires scrolling" after setting the content.

You may have to add a handler for the ContentRendered event for the control because the necessary properties may not be set until the content is rendered. I'm not sure about this though.

If you knew the name of the scroller element, you could get it that way. I believe it's "PART_ContentHost".

ScrollViewer sv = (ScrollViewer)richBox.Template.FindName("PART_ContentHost", richBox);

Now I have to do two things:

1. See if I can find out from the ScrollViewer whether its content fits within the its vertical height. I'll report my success or failure at this attempt.

private void richTB_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    ScrollViewer sv = (ScrollViewer)richTB.Template.FindName("PART_ContentHost", richTB);
    double height = sv.ActualHeight;
    double extentHeight = sv.ExtentHeight;
    double scrollableHeight = sv.ScrollableHeight;
}

Fortunately, I think it will be possible for me to use the information on top of the solution to the original problem I had, to make things even better!
