Removing a Caret

An application can use the HideCaret function to remove the caret from the screen. This is useful when your application must redraw the screen while processing a message, but must keep the caret out of the way. When the application finishes drawing, it can display the caret again by using the ShowCaret function. Hiding the caret does not destroy its shape or invalidate the insertion point. Hiding the caret is cumulative; that is, if the application calls HideCaret five times, it must also call ShowCaret five times before the caret will reappear.

An application can remove the caret from the screen and destroy its shape by using the DestroyCaret function. DestroyCaret destroys the caret only if the window involved in the current task owns the caret.
