WPF DataGrid Cell Text Wrapping - set to NoWrap (False)

Question

How do I set the TextWrapping of every cell in a WPF DataGrid to "NoWrap"? I understand the Cell itself does not have a "TextWrapping" property, but I'd like to set the property on the control within the cell.

The DataGrid I am working with does not have columns defined explicitly, the result set it is displaying is dynamic.

I am looking for a solution similar to the answers provided in the links below. However I do not want to explicitly override the cell style/template and define the control to be used. Instead I would like to say, IF a TextBlock is being used, set its TextWrapping property to NoWrap.

In the resources of your DataGrid, you can specify an alternative default style for TextBlocks. This should do what you require ("IF a TextBlock is being used, set its TextWrapping property to NoWrap"). This won't work if the TextBlocks explicitly specify a different style to be used.

<DataGrid ...>
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
            <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="NoWrap"/>
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.Resources>
    ...
</DataGrid>

(Untested, since I do not have Visual Studio available right now.)
