Remarks
Use the ReplaceSel message to replace only a portion of the text in an edit control. To replace all of the text, use the SetText message or the SetWindowText Windows API function.
If there is no selection, the replacement text is inserted at the caret.
In a rich edit control, the replacement text takes the formatting of the character at the caret or, if there is a selection, of the first character in the selection.
