OK, I didn't understand :-)

Then try this code in a new graphic project:

'-------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Sub Form_Open()

   Dim s As String = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 
adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore 
magna aliqua."
   Dim iRows, iHeight, iNew As Integer
   Dim iFontHeight As Integer
   Dim fProp As Float
   Dim hFont As Font
   Dim hTextLabel As TextLabel

   With hTextLabel = New TextLabel(Me) As "TextLabel1"
     .X = 50
     .Y = 50
     .W = 100
     .H = 100
     .AutoResize = False
     .Wrap = True
     .Text = s
     .Border = 1
     hFont = .Font
   End With

   iRows = Rows(hTextLabel.Text, hTextLabel.Width, hFont)

   While (iRows * hFont.Height) > hTextLabel.Height
     hFont.Size -= 0.5
     iRows = Rows(hTextLabel.Text, hTextLabel.Width, hFont)
   Wend

End

Private Function Rows(value As String, iWidth As Integer, hFont As Font) 
As Integer

   Dim i As Integer
   Dim ss As String[]
   Dim sRow As String

   If hFont.TextWidth(value) < iWidth Then Return 1
   ss = Split(value, " ")
   For Each s As String In ss
     sRow &= " " & s
     If hFont.TextWidth(sRow) > iWidth Then
       sRow = s
       Inc i
     Endif
   Next
   Return i + 1

End
