Center the text vertically in a TEdit

Guys,
Is there any way to center the text vertically in a TEdit without the borders (BorderStyle=bsnone) ?
Because without the borders the text is always on top of the control...
I've been reading that the Windows message WM_NCCALCSIZE changes the internal area of TEdit but this message is simply not sent to TEdit..

It's easier to put TEdit on a TPanel with a clWindow color without borders and the desired size. And then vertically align TEdit inside TPanel.
