WPF DataGrid RowHeader databinding

Question

I have a DataGrid, bound to a DataTable. I want to display text in the RowHeader, to achieve something like this:

         Col0      Col1      Col2      Col3

Just FYI, if you bind directly to a data table, then this binding text worked for me:

{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, 
                                  AncestorType={x:Type DataGridRow}}, 
                                  Path=Item.Row.Header}

Poked around a little bit and found that in the Item.Row.Header path, the path starts at the DataGridRow, the Item takes you to the DataGridView, and the Row takes you to the DataRow.

Again, if you bind directly to the data table.
