Strange question , but:

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim Start As Int = EditText1.SelectionStart
    EditText1.Text = EditText1.Text.SubString2(0, Start) _
                     & Button1.Text _
                     & EditText1.Text.SubString(Start)
End Sub

Thanks LM. I have some EditTexts where when the user enters an open bracket, a panel appears with some buttons and clicking one of the buttons enters that text at the cursor position. It basically shows the user what options can be entered in that particular EditText and saves them some typing. Modified the code slightly to erase their first open bracket and add a space after the button's text.

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim Start As Int = EditText1.SelectionStart
    EditText1.Text = EditText1.Text.SubString2(0, Start-1) _
                    & Button1.Text & " " _
                    & EditText1.Text.SubString(Start)
End Sub

Thanks again.
