Is there a way around the string length limitation for the BalloonTipText under a NotifyIcon component?

I have a BalloonTipText property under a NotifyIcon component that
exceeds, what appears to be, a 256 byte limitation. It just truncates
it. Is there any way around this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks....

How long do you need the text to be? If it is substantially longer than
256 bytes/characters, then I would consider having a notification message
which says "click here for more info" and then presenting a more appropriate
UI for the message (since it is so long).
