Unity3d stretch GUI.Box

I newby to Unity and I write a simple tic-tac-toe game for mobile devices. I have troubles with GUI.Box. I try to make it stretch, but it does not work and text is clipped. My code:

GUIStyle lBoxStyle = new GUIStyle(GUI.skin.box);
lBoxStyle.stretchWidth = true;
lBoxStyle.stretchHeight = true;
lBoxStyle.wordWrap = true;
lBoxStyle.fontSize = 48;
lBoxStyle.normal.textColor = Color.black;
GUI.Box(new Rect((virtualWidth - mBoxWidth) / 2, (virtualHeight - mBoxHeight) / 2, mBoxWidth, mBoxHeight), mAlert, lBoxStyle);

How can I fix it?
Also how I can reduce size if text is short?

First find out what is the size of the content with CalcSize. Then use that size to make the box tightly fitted around the content.

    GUIStyle lBoxStyle = new GUIStyle(GUI.skin.box);
    lBoxStyle.stretchWidth = true;
    lBoxStyle.stretchHeight = true;
    lBoxStyle.wordWrap = true;
    lBoxStyle.fontSize = 48;
    lBoxStyle.normal.textColor = Color.Black;

    // Caculate the size of the content
    Vector2 size = lBoxStyle.CalcSize(new GUIContent(mAlert));

    // Padding if needed
    // size += new Vector2(10, 10)

    // Use the size as the size of the element
    GUI.Box(new Rect((virtualWidth - size.x) / 2, (virtualHeight - size.y) / 2, size.x, size.y), mAlert, lBoxStyle);
