EM_SETFIRSTCHAR
mp1 = MPFROMSHORT((SHORT) ichOffset);    /* offset to first character */
mp2 = 0L;                                /* not used, must be zero    */
 
An application sends an EM_SETFIRSTCHAR message to set the character to be
displayed as the first character in an entry-field, scrolling the contents
as necessary.
