I believe you'd have to use separate scrollbar controls like the 
DataGrid does to maintain a consistent scroll thumb while hiding/show 
elements.

That said, it seems like a painfully tedious task but doable, sort of 
like a DataGrid on acid.

Just curious:  What are you making that needs that sort of display space?
