I have a dark brown background field , so the user can't see the insertion cursor.

Can I change it, or change the color of it? Will I need to make my own fake one?

Thanks, Max

Thanks for the quick response,

Your helped seemed terrific at first.
But searching 29 pages of cursor messages was like looking for a needle in a haystack, without success.

There were a lot of messages about pointer cursors, but only one on insertion cursors,

user samples has never worked on my computer. And cursorMakerStack could not be found on this forum.


But I'm thinking that the insertion pointer in a text field cannot be easily accessed or changed, I've never seen it done.

Has anyone had success?

Thanks, Max

HH,

Thank you. I am not sure who you are, but I am really thankful that you took the time and effort to really help me through this problem. The stack was easy to use, as you mentioned. And it did work easily. I hope I can repay the favor. This is very kind and helpful.

I believe I mis-labeled the name of the blinking i-beam thing that remains inside a text field, referring to that as the insertion cursor. That is the thing I cannot see because of the dark background. Is there anyway to change that color? I need some way to show the user which field is open for typing. The yellow insertion cursor that i made only changes if I move to that field, not indicating which field is the openfield. And it may not work for IOS, as they do not make use of cursors. Any ideas?

Thank you again, Max

HH,

Amazing! It worked! I honestly believed that it probably could not be done. Thank you!

I also appreciate being turned on the to amazing resources in the "User Samples."

I feel great!

Thanks, Max
