Silverlight Textblock inside Listbox causes it to expand instead of wrapping the text

Question

I have something like this:

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding List}">
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Property}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Grid.Column="0"/>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

And the problem I'm having is that the TextBlock will expand the Grid column (and the Listbox) when the text is too long, instead of wrapping it as expected. Maybe I don't understand the star-sizing concept of Grids completely, but the way I see it, since the column width is set to "1*" which means "the remaining space available", the Textblock should NOT try to expand beyond this width, and should wrap the text instead.

So how can I fix this problem? By the way, I need the Grid (or some other container) because there will be other components besides the Textblock. Also the ItemContainerStyle section is there so that the Listbox element occupies the whole space.

Thanks in advance!

Try to add ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" to your ListBox.
