Why not set the toolTip to the text of the button? I don't know how large a display that would be, or whether that format would be tenable.
You could always use the "mouseWithin" message to display a field, offset a bit from the combo. and display the text of the button. At least you can control the properties of the field.

Hello, I have an option button with long text lines as options, but the button itself is smaller (width) as the text lines (because of layout restrictions), so that you can't read the full text of the options. Now I would like to find any solution to show the user the full content of the text lines before he clicks any choice. Either by hovering or right click or anything else I would like to put the line into the tooltip or anything else. By now I failed to grab the hilitedLine of the option menu. Any idea how to access the text by hovering or right click?
