All's you have to do is figure on having visible however much text fits 
inside the control, and loading that much from the file in to the text edit 
control.  In VB, simply set the scales on the form to characters, and lock 
the font between the control and the form, and then multiply height by 
width, to support variable window size.  If its a variable width font, 
maybe load a bit more each way.  Scrolling gets a bit slower, as that is 
when the reload goes off, but you could then use any text edit control you 
wanted to do the program.
