I have an idea, it's probably not better, but may be easier.

Send WM_CHAR messages to the edit control to add each character.
It should not take too long if you aren't adding too many characters.

Another thing you could consider if the data is really line oriented
is using a list box.

I once wrote code to make a multiline edit control on the Macintosh
a list box (before list boxes were available).
