Sub FindAncestor(Of TParent, reference As DependencyObject) As TParent
    'find the parent ListBox container
End Sub

'Usage
Sub Handle(lbi As ListBoxItem)
    Dim lb = GetListBox(lbi)
End Sub

I have a button in a ListBoxItem datatemplate, I want in the handler of the button to access the parent ListBox (this is the way I want to access it, since it's all nested in other DataTemplates, ItemsControls and stuff).
