How to get or compute actual width of ListBox without Vertical Scrollbar if visible

I wonder how to get or compute actual width of ListBox without Vertical Scrollbar if visible.

What I want to do is changing width of each items inside ListBox without being covered by Vertical Scrollbar.

Width="{Binding ActualWidth, 
    RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListBox}}}

At least, above binding tell me the actual width of ListBox, but this one does not handle width of vertical scrollbar.

Is there any good way to solve this?

Maybe the default will help you: just don't set Width at all!

At least in my case it was totally sufficient to not set the Width property. While Mårten Wikström's answer is completely correct I found out my actual problem was I had specified (unnecessarily) Width and did this in a wrong way (the same way Aki24x has reported).

This is a simplified case of my example. The solution was to just delete line 4.

1  <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
2      <DataTemplate>
3          <Border
4              Width="..." 
5              >

Try binding to the ViewportWidth property of the containing ScrollViewer instead.

Like this:

Width="{Binding Path=ViewportWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=ScrollViewer}}"
