        <Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="ToolTip">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <Grid Margin="5">
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Margin="4, 0,0,0" Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=ToolTip}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"></TextBlock>
