You don't specify Qt3 or Qt4?

Under Qt3, QTextEdit inherits from QScrollView, which has a
setContentsPos(int x, int y) member.  So:

   myTextEdit.setContentsPos(0, 0)

should work.


Under Qt4, QTextEdit inherits from QAbstractScrollArea, which has a
verticalScrollBar() member, that returns a QScrollBar.  So:

   myTextEdit.verticalScrollBar().setValue(0)

should work.
