Answer 1

Try calling GetPreferredSize(Size.Empty). It is defined in the Control class, and if overriden property by the RichTextBoxControl, ought to give you what you are looking for.

If you pass something other than Size.Empty into the method, then it will use that value as a maximum constraint. Using Size.Empty means that the potential size is unbounded.
