Text can be wrapped in a LB if you handle the text drawing yourself in the
CellTextPaint event handler. Just use the StringHeight method to determine
the height of the row, and use that value to set the DefaultRowHeight. Two
caveats... First, every row will of course be as tall as the tallest row.
(It'd be a neat RB feature to be able to set row heights individually.)
The cell contents will even wrap dynamically as the LB width decreases on
reasize. And secondly, I haven't yet worked out a good clean approach to
"unwrap" text if the LB's width increases.
