Depends on whether the number of rows is fixed, or only known at 
runtime. I'd adjust for a minimal number of rows, so that the form will 
not "jump" too much in height, with every occurence.

As long as there exist only rows of a single line, it should not be so 
hard to calculate the minimum height of each row, depending on the 
choosen font. Then bitmaps, of a constant height, will be another factor 
to consider. Finally there is a choice of adjusting the row height, so 
that the rows fill the grid, or to shrink the grid to the total rows height.
