I wouldn't use an option buttin in this case, I'd use a multi-line field.
You can preface each option with a bullet and tab (I use a graphic for a
bullet to maintain cross platform look and feel).

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?

Thanks

Tiemo
