Geoff,

Do not know exactly how to bring the text to the top of the control. To the visible portion of the control you may bring it as in the MS article I gave in my previos reply.


Still I think that with .SelStart and .SelLength you may probably do what you wish:
- you may calculate the number of lines in the visible portion of the control (using control height and fontmetric() function);
- then you may force the cursor to go down (keyboard ...?) by the number of lines you calculated, and thus forcing the entire text inside to be shifted up;
- then you may force the cursor to go up and back to its initial position; it will reposition the text in the control while bringing the cursor to the first visible text line.
