GetWindowText() gets the text, SetWindowText(text) sets the text. Where are you pasting the text to? Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

If you have the handle of the window you want to paste to, you could try sending it a WM_PASTE message.

MSDN is usually the first place I go to for such things. Google is another.
