WPF - Only want one expander open at a time in grouped Listbox

Question

I have a UserControl with a templated grouped listbox with expanders and only want one expander open at any time. I have browsed through the site but haven't found anything except binding the IsExpanded to IsSelected which isn't quite what I want.

I am trying to put some code in the Expanded event that would loop through Expanders and close all the ones that aren't the expander passed in the Expanded event. I can't seem to figure out how to get at them. I've tried ListBox.Items.Groups but didn't see how to get at them and tried ListBox.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem (or Index) but nothing came back.

Thanks

In the ListBoxItem's template you can use RadioButtons that share the same group, bind their IsChecked to IsSelected of the ListBoxItem and retemplate it as Expander, so you can bind the IsExpanded to IsChecked on the TemplatedParent.
