OK, now for the bizarrely complicated: have a borderless textbox above the editbox (above in z-order!) and move it after every word typed. Whenever a word is finished, add that word to the editbox and move it to the right. Resize to space available - when to the left of a space, just one character wide.

Complicated enough? Now think of inserting the same characters into the editbox so the text would move as you type in the textbox :).
