It's very easy to style the caret in
Silverlight 3. Look at that huge
TextBox with a caret in the rainbow colors:
You just need to set the
CaretBrush property:
<TextBox FontSize="50" Width="100" Height="80"> |
<TextBox.RenderTransform> |
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="6" ScaleY="1"/> |
</TextBox.RenderTransform> |
<TextBox.CaretBrush> |
<LinearGradientBrush x:Name="backgroundLinearGradientBrush" |
MappingMode="RelativeToBoundingBox" |
StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1"> |
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops> |
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0" /> |
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.167" /> |
<GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0.333" /> |
<GradientStop Color="Green" Offset="0.5"/> |
<GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.667" /> |
<GradientStop Color="Indigo" Offset="0.833" /> |
<GradientStop Color="Violet" Offset="1" /> |
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops> |
</LinearGradientBrush> |
</TextBox.CaretBrush> |
</TextBox> |
You can use any
Silverlight supported
Brush.
