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.

No, the idea is that you move editbox' scrollbar to the same place as your own-made scrollbar and click to the same point.

>Why there aren't a method to scroll editbox programmatically?

Probably, because it's really rare requirement, you try to fight.
