Text Box - Is there way to change the cursor style

Community Beginner ,

I would like to change the cursor style (to a block or underline) when using text boxes. However, I don't see an option for this. Anybody know if this is possible?

Without some really strange hack, no. You cannot change the cursor for input fields.

If you are publishing to HTML5 then you CAN do this with the CpExtra widget.  But it's not for SWF.

I know you can change the mouse cursor, can you actually change the caret that is in the text field? That is what I thought the OP meant.

Yes, that is correct.... looking to change the cursor style. It would seem like a nice added feature for version 10, eh?

If you want to change the blinking bar (caret) in the text field, I pretty sure you can't do that.

That's not a Captivate limitation, but the nature of the text field.
