Hello
I'm having a problem showing the caret in my window. I have a main window and then a child window that covers the entire client area of the main window. In the wndproc of my child window I have this
.elseif uMsg==WM_SETFOCUS
invoke CreateCaret, hWnd, 1, 0, 0
invoke ShowCaret, hWnd
invoke SetCaretPos, 0, 0
.elseif uMsg==WM_KILLFOCUS
invoke HideCaret, hWnd
invoke DestroyCaret
I think this is the correct way of showing a carret but I don't see the blinking line on my window. The only thing I can think of is that my main window has the typing focus but my child window dose not allthought my main window calls the DefWindowProc. Is there something I have to do to pass the typing focus the child window or is there something else I'm not doing in order to show the caret?
thanx

Second parameter of CreateCaret should be a bitmap handle, I suppose you have used the bitamp resource ID (1). Call LoadBitmap/LoadImage with bitmap ID to obtain the hBitamp for CreateCaret.
Edit:
Also look at the Carrot example at http://forger.ca/

if you like the systems default caret, try
this one:
width and height are own constants, f.e. 1 and 12.
this one:
push CARET_HEIGHT
push CARET_WIDTH
push NULL
push hwndMain
call CreateCaret
