Textbox's text cut short

How do I detect if a text box had its text cut short? When I
dynamically create text boxes, any with incomplete text I would like to
add its text to a tool-tip.

You could use 'Graphics.MeasureString' to measure the text shown in the
control. However, note that this won't lead to accurate results because
'Graphics' uses GDI+ and the textbox control is drawn by Windows using GDI.
