Instead, you will check for arrow keys in Editbox.Keypress event. Surely, you should experiment with grid content to correlate it with actual editbox width.

Edward, thank you for this solution.
I tried to emulate text file viewing with grid control, but
it was difficult to implement horizontal scrolling. Also, line length
was limited to 254 chars and a strange underline shadowing appears
in current line even when I turned all grid highlights off.

Today I switched to your solution. This seems to work more
reasonably.
However, I was unable to use mouse with this method: since editbox is
wider than form, it is impossible to use its native scroll bar.
I must use some slider style control to emulate scroll bars.
Is it possible to cause editbox control to do vertical scrolling
programmatically?

Also, it seems to be difficult to implement horisontal scroll
bar using grid scroll bar. I must also replace this with
handmade scrollbar control. Which is the best way to implement
such controls?
