It won't be possible for a list, since each line has a fixed height.  
For a table, you can figure out how many lines high your data is (using 
calls like FntCharsInWidth), then set the cell height yourself to allow 
you room to write all the text.  You could also just use a read-only 
field and let it deal with the wrapping and resizing for the table cell.

There's code in the AddressBook sample for doing this.  Look at the 
AddrDetails.c file, IIRC.
