Dan,
If I recall your situation, your using a custom
component for a textfield.  The caret functions
only work with components designed for text on a
lower level.  However, you should be able to
sample the system caret rate for use in your
timer. That way it matches the rest of your
system.  In short it looks like reinventing the
wheel.

David,

I can't get the caret based cursor to do anything
in my program; when I use
the
following, it doesn't make any cursor in my
program, just changes the blink
rate of cursors in other window programs like
Outlook Express.  What am I
doing wrong?

Dan Moyer

-- "caret" based cursor:
atom CaretReturn
constant MyCursor = 1 -- ?? just pick a number ??

CaretReturn = c_func(
xCreateCaret,{MyCursor,0,5,20})-- 0 is for bmp?
CaretReturn = c_func( xSetCaretBlinkTime,{300})

CaretReturn = c_func( xShowCaret,{MyCursor})
CaretReturn = c_func( xSetCaretPos,{50,50})--
tried various numbers here,
--    from  10,10  to 100,100
