Making Excel Text Import Wizard look-alike

Hi,

I`m writing a wizard that very much resembles the Excel Text Import
Wizard. So far so good but I have been unable to find a control to
reproduce the step where the user picks the boundries of a fixed width
text file. The file will be displayed in a fixed-width font, the user
can insert a dividing line by clicking, remove by double clicking and
move by dragging. The lines must move as a file with wide lines is
scrolled. I must be able to read the position of the lines in relation
to the number of characters along a line.

Any idea, please...

Ed.
