I have a rich text box that get scroll position with the code below

VB

Private Declare Auto Function RtfScroll _
                Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessage" ( _
                ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
                ByVal Msg As Integer, _
                ByVal wParam As IntPtr, _
                ByRef lParam As System.Drawing.Point) As Integer

Private Const WM_USER = &H400
Private Const EM_GETSCROLLPOS = WM_USER + 221
Private Const EM_SETSCROLLPOS = WM_USER + 222

To get scroll position:

VB

Dim pt As New System.Drawing.Point()
RtfScroll(rt.Handle, EM_GETSCROLLPOS, 0, pt)

to set scroll position to x=0, y =100:

VB

RtfScroll(RichTextCtl.Handle, EM_SETSCROLLPOS, 0, New System.Drawing.Point(0, 100))

I think you will have to create your own control extending the functionality of RichTextBpx

There are some articles here on CP that can guide you into building your own Custom Control

WinForms Custom Container Control[^]
Writing Your Custom Control: Step by Step[^]

There is also this article https://www.w3computing.com/vb2008/building-custom-windows-controls/[^] but it is a bit old plus there are a lot of advert pop-ups
