Don't put Urgent , Quickly or any other form of hurry up.........its rude, this is not a paid service, and it is of no urgency to anyone but you. You are less likely to get a response if you use this approach. Thanks.

Try the following:

C++

// get the initial text length
int nLength = edit.GetWindowTextLength();

// put the selection at the end of text
edit.SetSel(nLength, nLength);

// replace the selection
edit.ReplaceSel(pszText);
