Thanks, Sergey, but my question wasn't clear. The (readonly) editbox is only meant as a viewing mechanism for an ASCII file in which pages are separated by CHR(12), as replacement for report preview.

When user chooses page 3, etc, I want the editbox to show the corresponding page starting at the top of the editbox. Since I know which is the first char of each page (comes after CHR(12)), I have tried setting EditBox.SelStart = FirstCharPositionInPage, but that brings that char to the bottom of editbox, not the top.
