WPF TexBlock in Grid in ListView not Sizing Correctly?

Question

I have a TextBlock that is in a Grid that is an ItemTemplate for a ListView. I have the items so that they grow when the window is resized, but I cannot figure out how to have the TextBlock be limited to that size. I've tried to do this with the width on the ColumnDefinition - if I set the Width to a fixed number (say 350) the text wraps correctly, but obviously the TextBlock doesn't expand when the window is expanded - if I set the Width to "*" the there is then a horizontal scroll bar and the text runs off to the right and doesn't wrap.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

<GroupBox Header="Urgent Items" Margin="8,8,8,340" Name="UrgetItemsGroupBox">

        <ListView Margin="6" Name="CriticalErrorsListView" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=.}" MouseDoubleClick="CriticalErrorsListView_MouseDoubleClick">

You see horizontal scroll bar because ListView uses ScrollViewer in its template to allow scrolling. All you need to do is say ScrollViewer to not scroll horizontally. Just set ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" on your ListView. So you'll have something like this:

<ListView Margin="6"
          ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
          Name="CriticalErrorsListView"
          HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
          ItemsSource="{Binding Path=.}"
          MouseDoubleClick="CriticalErrorsListView_MouseDoubleClick">
     <!-- The rest goes here. -->
</ListView>

Hope this helps.
