How to get an adaptive frame which fits auto-wrapped text?

up vote 7 down vote favorite

When using the built-in Debugger, the breakpoints and the current step will be framed looks like this:

My favorite part is, those frames are adaptive to the text when window width changing makes it auto-wrapped to a different shape:

So my question is:

How can I programmly get a frame with this kind of adaptive behavior, as good performance (executing fast) as possible?

	Define "efficient." Do you mean shortest code, fastest code, or something else? – rcollyer Dec 1 '12 at 13:35
	@rcollyer Sorry for the ambiguousness. I would like a code executing as fast as possible. I have edited my descriptions. Thanks for pointing out. – Silvia Dec 1 '12 at 13:41

	@ziyuang Thanks for your information. But what I concern is not how to wrap text but how to draw the irregular frame around given text. – Silvia Dec 2 '12 at 11:43
	@Silvia I think you can draw the frame after you wrap the text by surrounding your wrapped text, if I understand your question correctly. Or are you asking whether there is a built-in function for this purpose since this effect appears in Mathematica? – ziyuang Dec 2 '12 at 12:51
