Trying to directly control caret/cursor visibility for my custom derived View.

[sillycowvalley]

I'm building my own edit control (of sorts) and would like the cursor to be visible when my control HasFocus.

I read this (and can see this may change):
https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/cursor.html

The only condition I don't seem to be able to set (or understand how to) is this == SuperView.MostFocused (Enabled, Visible and CanFocus are all true in the debugger).

(my TextGridView is derived directly from View)

Thanks.

Ok here is how to do it. Note that I am using "v2" for the driver, when I leave it blank (WindowsDriver i.e. v1) then the cursor keeps vanishing even in the TextField.

    class MyView : View
    {
        public MyView ()
        {
            CanFocus = true;
            CursorVisibility = CursorVisibility.Default;
        }

        /// <inheritdoc />
        public override Point? PositionCursor ()
        {
            return new Point (1,1);
        }
    }

    private static int Main (string [] args)
    {
        Application.Init (null,"v2");
        var w = new Toplevel();

        w.Add (new TextField (){Text = "Hi", Width = 5, Height = 1});
        w.Add (new MyView ()
        {
            Y = 1,
            Width = 5,
            Height = 5,
            Text = "Hhh"
        });

        Application.Run (w);
        Application.Shutdown ();
        return 0;
}

Perfect! Thank you.
