I would like to change cursor size in a TextBox

I would like to change cursor size in a TextBox. Please, any hint ?

Hello Darek

The cursor is a default Android cursor, custom cursors are currently not available via App Inventor but it might be possible with an App Inventor Extension.

A work-around would be to make your own Canvas-Based Textbox, using a Sprite for the the cursor.

Although a lot of work, you can also use an HTML document (no internet required), with CSS delivering the custom cursor.

Suggested Extension: Custom Cursors for TextBox Component

An extension that gives the App Developer a selection of cursors to choose from and if possible also allow the App User to select cursors. An advanced version that allows App Developer/App User to define their own cursor using an image (.png).
