You are correct, GroupBox is not an ancestor - this is because the GridViewColumn is not added to the visual tree, so bindings that rely on visual tree navigation will not work. You could bind your columns to a static resource instead:

To achieve what you are after will require quite a bit of custom code. See teh following MSDN forum thread:

And the code here that gives much more options for specifying column sizes:
