Description
### Describe the bug
See attached project. With scrollviewer, horizontal scroll is trivial via mousewheel. With itemsview, setting the same properties does not work.
[HorizontalItemsViewApp (2).zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/29636195/HorizontalItemsViewApp.2.zip)
### Why is this important?
Horizontal scroll is not that uncommon to be needed
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Create an itemsview with horizontal layout
2. Try adjusting ScrollView to horizontally scroll using mousewheel. Observe that not working.
### Actual behavior
Mouse wheel on horizontal ItemsView does nothing.
### Expected behavior
It doesn't, it's a NOOP even if vertical scroll is disabled.

Research direction
Start with the attached HorizontalItemsViewApp repro and inspect how ItemsView is configured with a horizontal layout and how its ScrollView handles mouse-wheel input. Compare that behavior with the working ScrollViewer case described in the issue. Done means horizontal ItemsView content scrolls via the mouse wheel when vertical scrolling is disabled.
