Hi,

On wxMSW the caret on wxRichTextCtrl has 2px width while on wxTextCtrl it has 1px width. I want to have the caret 1px in width on wRichTextCtrl as well so I tried:

Code: Select all

richTextCtrl->GetCaret()->SetSize(1,richTextCtrl->GetCaret()->GetSize().GetHeight() ) ;
//or
wxCaret * caret = new wxCaret(richTextCtrl,0,10);

but without success.

Try

Code: Select all

richTextCtrl->GetCaret()->SetSize(1,1);

That causes no change in the caret style as well.

I remember trying to do the same thing once and the only thing that made it change was to change the value of wxRICHTEXT_DEFAULT_CARET_WIDTH in wxW sources. I don't remember what other things I've checked, if any..

Seems like the only way.
