WPF INotifyDataErrorInfo highlight ListBoxItem

I've got a ListBox as such:

<ListBox Margin="5" ItemsSource="{Binding NetworkAdapters, Mode=OneWay}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedNetworkAdapter}" SelectionChanged="{s:Action SelectedNetworkAdapterChanged}">
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <UniformGrid Columns="2" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <Ellipse Width="15" Height="15" Margin="5">
                    <Ellipse.Style>
                        <Style TargetType="Ellipse">
                            <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Gray"></Setter>
                            <Style.Triggers>
                                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Status}" Value="{x:Static wpf:NetworkAdapterStatus.Up}">
                                    <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Green"></Setter>
                                </DataTrigger>
                                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Status}" Value="{x:Static wpf:NetworkAdapterStatus.Down}">
                                    <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Red"></Setter>
                                </DataTrigger>
                            </Style.Triggers>
                        </Style>
                    </Ellipse.Style>
                </Ellipse>
                <StackPanel Margin="5,0,0,0">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold"/>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"></TextBlock>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Speed, StringFormat='Speed: {0}'}" FontSize="10"/>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Status}" FontSize="10"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

NetworkAdapters is a collection of View Models that implement INotifyDataErrorInfo.

With the current XAML, if there is an error in any of the View Models the whole ListBox will be highlighted red, but I would like just the single ListBoxItems that contains errors to be highlighted.

I had a look at similar questions such as:

WPF ListBox ErrorTemplate and Validating a ListBoxItem rather than a ListBox

But I still can't make this work. Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:

As per Krzysztof's advice, I tried wrapping the StackPanel around a border and using a DataTrigger as such:

<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <Border BorderThickness="1">
            <Border.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="Border">
                    <Style.Triggers>
                        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding HasErrors}" Value="True">
                            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
                        </DataTrigger>
                    </Style.Triggers>
                </Style>
            </Border.Resources>
            <StackPanel> ... </StackPanel>
        </Border>
    </DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>

However, what this produces is the following:

enter image description here

Which is slightly different from what I expected. I would like to have the highlight around the whole ListBoxItem not just part of it as per the image.

You need to implement an ItemContainerStyle as below:

    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Validation.HasErrors}" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>

This will enable you to change the border of the ListBoxItem itself, so the whole things as you want.

You can forget about ErrorTemplate and just use DataTrigger to bind to Validation.HasErrors:

  <StackPanel>
                        <StackPanel.Resources>
                            <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type StackPanel}}">
                                <Style.Triggers>
                                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Validation.HasErrors}" Value="True"> <!-- change all text to red -->
                                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
                                    </DataTrigger>
                                </Style.Triggers>
                            </Style>
                        </StackPanel.Resources>
</StackPanel>

If you want a highlight, you can wrap StackPanel with a Border and set its color to red in a style.
