Appending to an edit box

[sambuddy]

Hello All,

I having some trouble writing to an edit box. when I use the following code

GUICtrlSetData($txt1,"File exist = " & $0 & @CRLF)

I get the correct data in the edit box

but when i add some more text

e.g.

GUICtrlSetData($txt1,"File doesn't exist" & @CRLF)

the line above gets erased and this text gets inserted.

I thought that putting @CRLF at the end would make it go to the next line, but it doesn't seem to be

What I want is for the original data to stay there and the new data to be added to it

Any suggestions?

My final aim is to read a text file and put it into the exit control

e.g. $txt1 is an edit control

$txt=FileRead("hinfo.txt")

GUICtrlSetData($txt1,$txt)

Thanks

GUICtrlSetData($txt1,GuiCtrlRead($txt1) & "File doesn't exist" & @CRLF)
