C# check if a Label is completely visible

Is there a way to check if the text associated with a multiline label is completely visible? This is necessary for me to change font size in the case label is too small to let all text be visible.

Mess around with this:

private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  label1.Text = textBox1.Text;
  label1.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
  //First make the font big enough
  double fontSize = label1.Width / label1.Text.Count();
  int height = label1.Height;
  fontSize = fontSize > 0 ? (double)fontSize : 1;
  if (fontSize < (height / 2))
  {
    fontSize = (height / 2);
  }
  label1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, (float)fontSize, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));

  //then adjust the text to the label size
  while (label1.Width < System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText(label1.Text,
      new Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, label1.Font.Size, label1.Font.Style)).Width ||
      label1.Height < System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText(label1.Text,
      new Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, label1.Font.Size, label1.Font.Style)).Height)
  {
    label1.Font = new Font(label1.Font.FontFamily, label1.Font.Size > 1 ? label1.Font.Size - 0.5f : label1.Font.Size, label1.Font.Style);
    if (label1.ClientRectangle.Width < 3 || label1.ClientRectangle.Height < 3)
      break;
  }
}

It will use the text of textBox1 to fill the label, and based on the contents, will adjust the font size to the label.
