[erlang-questions] wx-erlang question

Thanks. I thought was was just an integer id. Will look out for that in
the future.
Just had a play in python. It does the same, returns None. I tried
creating a new caret, setting it on the text control and then hiding it.
No complaints but it didn't do anything so I guess caret handling is all
buggy.

Found one mention on wxPython-users which indicates that GetCaret will
only return a caret on 'some' platforms. I'm on Win 7. Looks like I need
to think of another work round.
