    Hi all! In my application I'm reading from a console and what is read is written in an edit box, but I need to append the new text so the prior text does not disappear. I normally write m_strText=read_text; but this erases prior text in the Edit Box. Any ideas?:doh: Thank you in advance!

      very crude: m_text = GetDlgItemText(IDC_MYEDITBOX); m_text += new_console_text; SetDlgItemText(IDC_MYEDITBOX,m_text);
