Re: Caret cursor in Win32Lib: how do I use it?

Allen,

Nope, I'm just writing text to a regular window; I use the window & text
metrics to figure where to put things so they're centered, but it's just a
regular window, & no cursor appears in it from what I thought should create
it.

Any thoughts as to why what I wrote  doesn't make a cursor appear in a
regular window??
