There is no managed support for dealing with carets in the .NET Framework.
You'll have to use p/invoke to change the caret:

Carets
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/resourc
es/carets.asp>

<URL:http://pinvoke.net/> is a valuable resource when using p/invoke.

I hope I'm not the only one that doesn't know what a "box-like caret" is
