Caret Information

The caret is the flashing cursor that's typically shown in a text editor to show the current insert position. Although RichTextKit doesn't provide any editing capabilities, it does include the ability to calculate where the caret should be displayed.

To determine where the caret should be displayed, call the RichString.GetCaretInfo or TextBlock.GetCaretInfo method which will return a CaretInfo structure describing where the caret should be drawn, the shape of the caret (sloped for italic) and other useful details about the current caret position.
