You need to use the Win32 Caret API as imported by the following code...
[DllImport("User 32.dll")]
protected static extern int CreateCaret(
System.IntPtr hWnd, // handle to owner window
System.IntPtr hBitmap, // handle to bitmap for caret shape
int nWidth, // caret width
int nHeight // caret height
);
[DllImport("User 32.dll")]
protected static extern int ShowCaret(
System.IntPtr hWnd // handle to window with caret
);
[DllImport("User 32.dll")]
protected static extern int HideCaret(
System.IntPtr hWnd // handle to window with caret
);
