    Re: Inserting text

    I assume that you mean in a TextBox, and what you're talking about is called the "caret". To insert text at the caret position in a TextBox or RichTextBox you simply set the SelectedText property. If text is selected it will be replaced. If no text is selected then the new text is simply inserted.

    And if you don't wont text to be replaced if highlighted put
    VB Code:
    1. TextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
    before setting the "SelectedText" value
