From the Windows platform SDK:

Code: [Select]

lResult = SendMessage(      // returns LRESULT in lResult
     (HWND) hWndControl,      // handle to destination control
     (UINT) EM_SETLIMITTEXT,      // message ID
     (WPARAM) wParam,      // = (WPARAM) () wParam;
    (LPARAM) lParam      // = 0; not used, must be zero
 );

Have you auto scroll on in resource file?
ES_AUTOHSCROLL
If so, take that off.
