Label with Lines Property

Anyone know where I can get a label component that has a Lines property ? (ie. ability to load text from a file or have text longer then 256 characters.) Already looked at torrys but nothing there.

Plz do not suggest a memo or richedit control unless you know of one that has an autosize property and hides the selection box and caret which pretty much will leave you with a (drumroll please) label with a lines property :)

If only difference from standart TLabel is possibility to load text from file - there is no need to use another component. There also is no need to use TStrings, which has many needless functions in this case.

Thx for the replies but it seems I did not need the component / code afterall.
