Textbox caret
by TLCube on Feb.15, 2010, under Programming
If you are using dark colors your applications, there is possibly that TextBox caret is color is black. This will make editing TextBox text more difficult. TextBox caret color is inverse to backround color, but when backround color is set to null, the default black color is used (picture 1).
There is couple of workarounds. The simplest is set TextBox backround color same color as where parent color is (picture 2). There is another workaround here.
Now WPF 4.0 has new CaretBrush property. You can simply set caret color just like any other colors (Picture 3).
<TextBox Name="textBox3" CaretBrush="Orange"/><code>
You can also specify a more complex brush like a LinearGradient (picture 4):
<TextBox.CaretBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0"
EndPoint="0,1">
<GradientStop Color="White"
Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Orange"
Offset=".5" />
<GradientStop Color="White"
Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</TextBox.CaretBrush>
Time to say goodbye for caret problems.

I was asking myself how to made simple Facebook like wall? So I start Google and found this nice PHP and jQuery tutorial
. Tutorial work fine, the only problem was look. I was looking something simple and elegant.
The problem was making simple and stylish button. After fail/try solution cycle the result was simple solution. Creating submit button using input tag. This solution works perfect and can be styled using CSS.
<input id="submit-button" class="blue" type="submit" value="Post to wall" />
.blue{
background:url(img/blue.gif);
padding:0px 6px;
border:1px solid #3b6e22;
height:24px;
line-height:24px;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:12px;
margin-right:10px;
display:inline-block;
text-decoration:none;
}
