To show tooltiptext while browsing a combo box

[cdls]

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to show the tooltiptext in a combo box for items that are longer than the width of the combo box. I couldn't find any event from where I can pick the highlighted item in the combo box when you are navigating from one item to another. I thought I will use the Form_MouseMove event, but that also does not fire when you navigate from one item to another. I tried Combo_Dropdown event also.
Can anybody let me know how to do this or how to expand the list portion of the combo box alone(I checked the MSDN help and it seems it is possible for Combobox objects in MS Access, but I couldn't find anything in Visual Basic).

Thanks in Advance.
