bcoz my text of listitem is too large which is greater than width of listbox.

is there any event to capture the moved listitem

To do this, you can loop through the dropdown list items and add a title attribute to each ListItem (if you are using asp.net webforms):

    For Each listItem As ListItem In DropDownList.Items
        listItem.Attributes.Add("title", listItem.Text)
    Next
