<description><p>A caret is a blinking cursor showing the position where the typed text will appear. Text controls usually have their own caret but <seeerl marker="wxCaret"><c>wxCaret</c></seeerl> provides a way to use a caret in other windows.
      </p><p>Currently, the caret appears as a rectangle of the given size. In the future, it will be possible to specify a bitmap to be used for the caret shape.
      </p><p>A caret is always associated with a window and the current caret can be retrieved using <seemfa marker="wxWindow#getCaret/1"><c>wxWindow:getCaret/1</c></seemfa>. The same caret can't be reused in two different windows.
