EM_REPLACESEL

An application sends an EM_REPLACESEL message to replace the current selection in an edit control with the specified text.

EM_REPLACESEL 
fCanUndo = (BOOL) wParam ;        // flag that specifies whether replacement can be undone 
lpszReplace = (LPCTSTR) lParam ;  // pointer to replacement text string 
 

Parameters

fCanUndo

Value of wParam. Specifies whether the replacement operation can be undone. If this is TRUE, the operation can be undone. If this is FALSE , the operation cannot be undone.

lpszReplace

Value of lParam. Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the replacement text.

Return Values

Remarks

Use the EM_REPLACESEL message to replace only a portion of the text in an edit control. To replace all of the text, use the WM_SETTEXT message.

If there is no current selection, the replacement text is inserted at the current location of the caret.
