10 @class wxCaret
7c913512 11
23324ae1 12 A caret is a blinking cursor showing the position where the typed text will
bfac6166

13 appear. Text controls usually have their own caret but wxCaret provides a
14 way to use a caret in other windows.
7c913512 15
bfac6166
BP
16 Currently, the caret appears as a rectangle of the given size. In the
17 future, it will be possible to specify a bitmap to be used for the caret
18 shape.
7c913512 19
23324ae1 20 A caret is always associated with a window and the current caret can be
bfac6166
BP
21 retrieved using wxWindow::GetCaret(). The same caret can't be reused in two
22 different windows.
