First Get Text from Control and then append your text to this text and then set this combined text to edit control Got it?

At first I thought this was a joke but now I think you are serious. I hope programming is just a hobby for you.

I think you need to save previous data of your program on the registry or a file for read again.

manish is right, but there is a more efficient way: send EM_SETSEL, -1, -1 to move the cursor to the end of the text send EM_REPLACESEL, (TRUE/FALSE), (LPARAM) "your text" to insert the text at the cursor location (i.e. the end)
