Change blinking cursor color

General

Is there a way to change the color of the blinking cursor used in the DesktopTextArea control?

Not with the Xojo Framework. If you can, it will vary by platform and require declares or plugins.

With the MBS plugins, you can do this:
MyTextArea.NSTextViewMBS.insertionPointColor=NSColorMBS.orangeColor

if you want a mouse indicator you can change it

Var pic As New Picture(32,32)
pic.Graphics.DrawingColor = Color.Red
pic.Graphics.DrawRectangle(0,0,32,32)
TextArea1.MouseCursor = new MouseCursor(pic,32,32)
