Show ToolTip of a truncated WPF ListBox Item

Question

Been searching all over but could not find the answer I am looking for; perhaps I'm not using the correct search term.

Anyways, my question is whether there is a property on the WPF ListBox control which I can set that will automatically display the full text of a truncated list item into a ToolTip?

For example, with some WinForm list-container controls, the ToolTip only appears when the mouse is hovered over a list item that is truncated.

Was hoping for a quick property setting to make it work; will make do with the suggestion, thanks. — vbnc141, Jan 12 '11 at 07:03
I believe the search term you want is "Tooltip", not "Hint Tip". — Dan J, Jul 05 '11 at 23:48

This might be overkill but here is an article which shows how to determine if text in your control is actually trimmed so that you can show a ToolTip:
