[Qt-interest] Does Qt provide a generic text caret?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

On Windows, one can show blinking text carets with routines like 
CreateCaret() and SetCaretPos().  Is there something similar in Qt or 
will I have to draw a caret and make it blink manually?  I'm currently 
trying to provide a caret for text that has been inserted in a 
QGraphicsScene with addSimpleText().

Note: I am not using the Rich Text Qt classes (like 
QTextBrowser/QTextEdit) which provide a caret, because I need 
pixel-exact positioning of text/images which the Rich Text framework 
doesn't seem to provide.  I chose the Graphics View framework instead to 
draw "documents" consisting of text and images because it allows me to 
use pixel coordinates rather than blocks and paragraphs.
