use a simple trick and add and comma in text, and when you click button replace that comma with any text you want, use replace all text block.

you need to detect where you want to add text so you need to place something in text,

what about providing an example text before clicking the button?
and which result are you expecting, i.e. how should the text be modified on button click?

For Example: my name is kishore
Now if i want to add hello in between ā€œFor Example: ā€œhelloā€ my name is kishoreā€
When button is clicked this should be done

so at the beginning of the entered text you would like to add something, for example the text hello ā€¦
what about using a join block to join the text hello and the existing text?

set Textbox.Text to join "hello "
                         get Textbox.Text
                                              "

please try something yourself, I explained it in detailā€¦ this is something very basicā€¦

A very good way to learn App Inventor or Kodular is to read the free Inventorā€™s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps ā€¦ the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ā€˜teachesā€™ users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: How do you...? .

Also do the tutorials Tutorials for MIT App Inventor to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

use the Current Position property to get the current position then
see also Text Box - Kodular Docs
protip: reading the documentation might helpā€¦
then use the segment block from the text drawer to extract part of the text
Text - Kodular Docs
and join again together what you need

instead of ā€œget selectionā€ block you can simply put your text which you want to add(hello)
