XAML Values

Description |
|---|---|
colorString |
The Color for a SolidColorBrush expressed as an attribute string. This can be a named color, an RGB value, or an ScRGB value. RGB or ScRGB may also specify alpha information. For more information, see the "colorString Grammar" section in Color. |
singleBrush |
Within opening and closing property elements for object.CaretBrush, exactly one object element for an object that derives from Brush. The object element can be one of the following: LinearGradientBrush, RadialGradientBrush, ImageBrush, SolidColorBrush, or VideoBrush. |
Property Value
Type: Brush
The brush that is used to fill the text insertion cursor.
This property is read/write. The default value is null.
Remarks
For purposes of rendering, the null default value for CaretBrush evaluates as a black brush.
You typically use a solid color for a CaretBrush, instead of a more visually complex brush.
The purpose of a separate CaretBrush property is so that you can change the text insertion cursor color. If you have set the Background to a dark color, the default text insertion cursor may be hard for users to see.
