  void CreateCaret( CBitmap* pBitmap );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <pBitmap>   Identifies the bitmap that defines the caret shape.
 
  Remarks
 
  Creates a new shape for the system caret and claims ownership of the
  caret.
 
  The bitmap must have previously been created by using the
  ◄CBitmap::CreateBitmap► member function, ◄CreateDIBitmap► Windows
  function, or the ◄CBitmap::LoadBitmap► member function.
 
  Automatically destroys the previous caret shape, if any, regardless of
  which window owns the caret. Once created, the caret is initially
  hidden. To show the caret, the ◄ShowCaret► member function must be
  called. The system caret is a shared resource. CWnd should create a
  caret only when it has the input focus or is active. It should destroy
  the caret before losing the input focus or becoming inactive.
