Say, you have previously populated variable [sometext] like so ...
SetVar "[someText]" "VisualNEOWin"Assuming that the Variable: (to store TextEntry contents) for TextEntry15 is defined as [TextEntry15], in order to populate this box ...
SetVar "[TextEntry15]" "[someText]"

Sorry, I don't understand; something is getting lost in translation.
1) when you say many tex entries, are you referring to entries in a ListBox ?
2) when you say automatically inserted texts, do you want the selected ListBox entry to be inserted in a Text (or TextEntry) object ? ... if TextEntry object, where do you want it to be inserted ? (beginning, end or at current insertion point ?)
Perhaps you can elaborate with a screenshot and some arrows and text ? ... or post a simple pub file with notes about what you wish to happen.

Thank you for the pub that explains your requirement.
I have a solution ... but before I post it here, can you advise ...
a) when you say when I select the text entry and click the button it will insert the (chosen) text inside the text entry, is the chosen text "Hello" or "House"(depending on which button is clicked ? ... or something else ?
b) I notice that each of your TextEntry boxes (CasellaImmissioneTesto1, CasellaImmissioneTesto2, CasellaImmissioneTesto3 and CasellaImmissioneTesto4) specify the same value (i.e. [CasellaImmissioneTesto1]) for Variable: (to store TextEntry contents) ... I am assuming this is just an error (you probably created the other 3 boxes by Duplicating the first one ... if all boxes have the same associated variable, when you populate this variable with a value, it will show up in all 4 TextEntry boxes ... please confirm that each box should have a different associated variable.

Exactly. There is also an opportunity to get the selected text.
GetObjectInfo "" "SelectedText" ""
:)

GetObjectInfo "" "SelectedText" ""What I am unclear about is when @sinesi-giuseppe says "chosen text" ... where is this chosen text ? ...
a) if it is in a variable or it is the label of the button, the solution is simple
b) if it is the content of a Text Box, it is still possible
c) if it is a (selected) part of a Text Box, it may not be possible ... according to the help file for GetObjectInfo ... SelectedText can be used to copy highlighted from Text Entry or Article objects ... NOT Text Boxes

It is necessary? Or something different?

The solution (textentry2.pub) posted by @mishem appears to be what I understand you wanted.
Please note ...
a) the key is this code in the GainFocus event section of each of the TextEntry Boxes
SetVar "[Focus]" "[Self]"b) instead of having one Button for each piece of text (with hard-coded values in each Button), you might consider using a single ListBox (with each entry representing some text) ... then, the user can just select the required entry ... the values of each entry can be hard coded at design time or dynamically loaded at run time from (say) a text file.
