10 @class wxCaret
11
12 A caret is a blinking cursor showing the position where the typed text will
13 appear. Text controls usually have their own caret but wxCaret provides a
14 way to use a caret in other windows.
15
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.
19
20 A caret is always associated with a window and the current caret can be
21 retrieved using wxWindow::GetCaret(). The same caret can't be reused in two
22 different windows.
