Changing "insertion point" cursor in WPF

Question

I need to create a "command line" look-and-feel in a WPF app. In WPF, text boxes use a blinking vertical line as the insertion-point cursor. In the command-line world, the insertion-point cursor is a grey rectangle.

Is there a way to change the look-and-feel of the insertion-point cursor in a WPF text box? The obvious (Cursor="Cursor.Whatever") only changes the look-and-feel of the mouse cursor when you hover over the text box, not the insertion-point one.

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank y'all so much for your time!

Ria.

You mean "caret". And currently you can't change its shape in WPF. Only color is changeable (its inversion of background; background may be transparent, but caret always will be visible).
