Customize "blinking text cursor" inside field.

[boqsc]

So here we go. I decided to code custom notepad. After some time, i saw a realy annoying thing - small blinking cursor inside my text field that i started to hate. So the question is:
Is it possible to change color, size, blinking speed of that blinking text cursor. And maybe replace it with picture. If it s possible, then how to do all this stuff?

Hi boqsc,

you can in fact set "the blinkrate", but that's all, I'm afraid.
That cursor is supplied by the underlying OS.

Hi.

If the field is all set to receive text entry, you need that cursor. Everyone expects it. If not, just focus on something else. What situation could you have where the field is in focus and text is about to be entered, yet you do not want to see the cursor?
