wxtextCtrl text placement

I'm trying to figure out why the text doesn't stay vertically centered
inside the box when I increase the size of the text.  The box clearly has
enough room, but the text starts to go out of view instead of staying
vertically centered.  I've tried various things, but am unable to keep it
centered.

Can someone tell me what's wrong?

cstm5_e_textCtrl = new wxTextCtrl(panel2, wxID_ANY, wxT(""),
wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(box_w, box_ht), wxNO_BORDER | wxTE_CENTER);
p2rowThree->Add(cstm5_e_textCtrl, 0, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 10);


contents << cstm_wrd[cstm_cnt];
wxFont font = textCtrl->GetFont();
font.SetWeight(wxFONTWEIGHT_NORMAL);
font.SetPointSize(boxtext_size);
textCtrl->SetFont(font);
textCtrl->SetValue(contents.str());
textCtrl->SetToolTip(cstm_wrd[cstm_cnt]);

Regards,
