Bind MaxWidth to calculated Auto value

I have a datatemplate containing this section. The second column is used for a GridSplitter.

<Grid>
  <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" MaxWidth="100"/>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid>

What I am trying to do is to bind the MaxWidth of the first column to the width of its content instead of a hardcoded width value.

The idea is that the user can make the column narrower than its content but not wider.

Is this possible with simple binding?

OneTime Binding to Actual Width of the content UserControl did the trick!

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" MaxWidth="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=ColumnContent, Mode=OneTime}" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid>
