Expand DropDownList Item on MouseOver

[Matthew]

Is there a way to expand a dropdownlist item when the list is open and a user hovers their cursor over an item?  I have a RadDropDownList with some list items that have long text values that don't fit in the width of the dropdownlist.  Ideally, I'd like to make it so they can see the entire list item string when they hover over the list item.

 Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for writing.

Expanding an item is not supported, however, you could use a tooltip to show the whole text of the desired item. For the purpose you can use the VisualItemFormatting event:

void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args)
{
    args.VisualItem.ToolTipText = args.VisualItem.Text;
}

I hope that you will find this useful. Let us know should you have any other questions.
