Need help with edit control

Hi i'm writing a program that needs to append text to an edit

control sort of like a chat program. The problem i'm having is

every time text is added it overwrites the old. Basically I want to

be able to scroll up and look at what's been written. If anybody

can help me at all or even understand what i'm babbling about it

would be appreciated thanx :D .

use
SendMessage(hWndEdit, EM_SETSEL, -1, -1);
this moves cursor to the last place in the edit control then use EM_REPLACESEL (I think thats the correct name) and it will add new text to the end

Does that add text to the end or on a new line. I need it on a new line and thanx for helping

To make a new line, place "\r\n" before the text you want added. Ie:

Code:

---

char *lpString=new char[64];

lstrcat(lpString,"\r\n");
lstrcat(lpString,"Text You Want Added");

SendMessage(hEdit,EM_SETSEL,-1,-1);
SendMessage( hEdit, EM_REPLACESEL,false, (LPARAM) lpString);

delete [] lpString;
