Default Text Box Truncation -- detect it?

If I put a text box on a report and fill it with text which may be a short
line or a long line, and I set the property to CanGrow=No, The short line
will fit in the box and the long line will truncate. I expect that. Is there
a way to determine, within the report detail, whether the line was truncated
or not, and where? I tried comparing the source data with the value in the
control, but apparently the value in the control is the untruncated long
line, even it it won't all display. It always compares equal, even with
truncation.
