CWnd::SetCaretPos

Visual Studio 2010

Sets the position of the caret.

Copy 
static void PASCAL SetCaretPos(
   POINT point 
);
point

Specifies the new x and y coordinates (in client coordinates) of the caret.

The SetCaretPos member function moves the caret only if it is owned by a window in the current task. SetCaretPos moves the caret whether or not the caret is hidden.

The caret is a shared resource. A window should not move the caret if it does not own the caret.

C++
Copy 

// The following code snippet shows a caret when the left 
// mouse button is pressed, and sets the caret's positon to 
// the cursor's position.
void CMyView::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) 
{
   //create a solid caret, the width is 2, the length is 20.
   CreateSolidCaret(2, 20);

   SetCaretPos(point);
   ShowCaret();

   CView::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
}
