Wrap Hint in PhoneTextBox

Question

is it possible to make the Hint text in the PhoneTextBox of the Windows Phone Toolkit wrap? I have looked into the code and it seems that this is only possible by changing the whole ControlTemplate. Have I missed something? Is there an easier solution?

Thanks in advance, Christoph

I found out that I can replace the ContentControl via the hint style without re-styling the whole control like this:

<Style x:Key="HintContentControlStyle" TargetType="ContentControl">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">
                <Grid>
                    <TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}" />
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

and then apply it to the PhoneTextBox:

<tk:PhoneTextBox Text="{Binding Text, Mode=TwoWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" HintStyle="{StaticResource HintContentControlStyle}" Hint="{Binding LocalizedResources.Hint, Mode=OneWay, Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}" />
