Re: [platform-swt-dev] updating a caret without focus

For my context there is no selection but just an insertion point.  I
wanted to be able to show where the current insertion point was on the
TextEditor by showing a caret without it actually having keyboard
focus.  If this isn't currently possible, any hints on how to manually
display an insertion point/caret on a non-focused TextEditor?
