There is no way of inserting anything without characters (eg whitespace) before it, so you have to insert appropriate spacing to position whatever you want to place. Scintilla itself can convert a screen position to a character position, so typing can be located by scintilla, but thats not possible programmatically, all programmatic interfaces are by character.
