[erlang-questions] wx-erlang question

[Dan Gudmundsson]

Hi

Obj id 0 is null, so I guess getCaret returns NULL,
you can check if something returns NULL with wx:is_null(Caret).

But from the docs it looks like it always should return a caret, so
it's a bit strange.
I will take a closer look tomorrow so it's a not a wxerlang bug, but
it might be a wxWidgets bug
or just bad documentation.
