wpf Listbox giving columns a header

Question

I have the following markup (xaml):

<ListBox Name="lbEurInsuredType" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">

            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>

               <DataTemplate>

                    <Grid Margin="0,2">

                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                        <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition><ColumnDefinition Width="2"></ColumnDefinition>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition>

                   </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                   <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}"></TextBlock>

                   <TextBox Text="{Binding Uw}" Grid.Column="1"></TextBox>

                   <TextBox Text="{Binding Partner}" Grid.Column="3"></TextBox>

                </Grid>

            </DataTemplate></ListBox.ItemTemplate>



        </ListBox>

This all looks ok, but now above column 1 and 3 I want to place a header. Can anyone show me how I add headers to my two columns.

Listview is surely the best option, but, if you need to use a listbox you could modify the template of the listbox in this way.

   <ListBox Name="lbEurInsuredType" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
        <ListBox.Template>
            <ControlTemplate>
                <DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
                    <Grid DockPanel.Dock="Top" Height="30">
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="2"></ColumnDefinition>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition>
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <Label Grid.Column="0">Column 1</Label>
                        <Label Grid.Column="1">Column 2</Label>
                        <Label Grid.Column="2">Column 3</Label>
                        <Label Grid.Column="3">Column 4</Label>
                    </Grid>
                    <ItemsPresenter></ItemsPresenter>
                </DockPanel>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </ListBox.Template>
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid Margin="0,2">
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="2"></ColumnDefinition>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="30"></ColumnDefinition>
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}"></TextBlock>
                    <TextBox Text="{Binding Uw}" Grid.Column="1"></TextBox>
                    <TextBox Text="{Binding Partner}" Grid.Column="3"></TextBox>
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
