Hi,

I need to add a tooltip to a textbox, but only if text doesn't fit the
textbox. So i need to somehow find out if text length is bigger than
width of a box. The problem i have is more generic, i need to add this
functionality to different tyes of controls/user controls, but i coud
start with a text box and go from there.

I spent a decent amount of time researching the web, but didn't find a
clue so far.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance,
Andrey
 
Graphics.MeasureString() should do what you want. Measure the string, get
the width of the string, then compare it to the width of the textBox.
