EditEnh from the Enhanced Components will do this.

I have not seen what you sent through to Jason on this particular
issue, but my understanding was that the alignment issue came from
using a single line edit control and the restriction is actually at
the API level.

EditEnh solves this by actually being a multi-line edit control - but
it takes several measures to ensure that input is restricted to a
single line. This includes parsing all pastes, checking keyboard
activity and so on.

I will be interested to know if/how you solved the problem without
using the same approach. I was not able to solve the problem in IBOs
IB_Edit control because it derives from the VCL maskedit base, which
did not seem to permit the changes required.
