1. Win32Lib: Blinking Text Cursor?
Hi all,
Question: is there an "easy" way to provide a blinking TEXT CURSOR in a
program?
In an app I'm writing using Win32Lib, I let the user edit horiz. & vert.
CENTERED text, & because it's centered, I put it directly into a window
instead of a MLE box; so I made my own blinking cursor from a timer, & have
been making little handlers for it for various key presses, until it dawned
on me that maybe there was some kind of inherent cursor display/control
within Euphoria or Win32Lib. (I've been defining screen display positions
for text & cursor by using getTextExtent & getExtent(Window) for each line.)
I looked at Pete Eberlein's "WEE" editor as a referent, but couldn't see how
to use what he did.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The way that it's supposed to be done is with a 'caret'. The routines of
interest are:
CreateCaret
GetCaretBlinkTime
SetCaretBlinkTime
DestroyCaret
HideCaret
ShowCaret
SetCaretPos
GetCaretPos
Hope this helps!
