Update MultiLine EditControl

[arunkr6]

I am using a multi line edit control. Here the event will be hadle using a timer and it is updated in every seconds. In each time,the same variable will be updating. So I want to display the variable in edit control and it should update in each time by down to down( not overwriting)

I have used

//.....bla...bla
CString dispVar;
m_list.SetWindowText[dispVar];

.

Here it is overwriting....
How can It Update?? Plz help...

1. you code is wrong. You must use (...), not [...]

2. To append text to edit control you can either

• read the old text in a CString, add the new text and then write the updated text back to control

or

• use CEdit::SetSel/CEdit::ReplaceSel functions.
