If you mean the caret (it was the cursor in Foxpro for DOS, and changed beetwen an underscore and a block), it can't be changed within Visual Foxpro.

In other programing languages that use Windows based controls (Edit, Label, Checkbox, etc.) like C++, Delphi, VB, there is an API function to do that: CreateCaret
