Add Vairable of CString type with ur rich edit Box by Class Wizard .. then assiagn ur trext to its CString variable. then use UpdateData(FALSE); i.e. m_strVariable = " My Text "; UpdateData(FALSE); i hope u will get it n it works thanx zahid

thanks for your simple response but now i'm trying to put text in a rich edit control while accessing the way i put it there . i mean how i can put text at a line number and a column i wish (example line 5 column 20 ) ? setwindowtext() is good for one line rich edit but i have a multiline rich edit box .so i need a way to write text in it how i wish . Strangely there is no function in rich edit class to do it (except SetWindowText() ) or maybe i dont know because i searched MSDN entirely but nothing found . lots of thanks

SetWindowText() can be used, but you'll either need to call GetWindowText(), or have the text stored in a separate buffer. For example:

CString strBuffer1;
...
strBuffer1 = strBuffer1 + "\r\n" + ...
m_edit.SetWindowText(strBuffer1);

The other way would look like:

CString strBuffer2;
m_edit.GetWindowText(strBuffer1);
strBuffer2 = strBuffer1 + "\r\n" + ...
m_edit.SetWindowText(strBuffer2);

You can also use ReplaceSel().
