after many attempts, i finally found the correct win32 call, having a few problems getting it to work properly though:

' createtextarea.bmx

Strict 

Extern "win32"
Function CreateCaret(hWnd,hBitmap:Byte Ptr,nWidth,nHeight)
Function ShowCaret(hWnd)
End Extern

Local window:TGadget
Local textarea:TGadget

window=CreateWindow("My Window",130,20,200,200,,15|WINDOW_ACCEPTFILES)

textarea=CreateTextArea(0,0,ClientWidth(window),ClientHeight(window)/2,window)
SetGadgetLayout textarea,1,1,1,1
SetGadgetText textarea,"a textarea gadget~none line~nandanother"
ActivateGadget textarea

Local hwnd,caret
hwnd=QueryGadget(textarea,QUERY_HWND)

While WaitEvent()
	Print CurrentEvent.ToString()+" "+EventSourceHandle()
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_GADGETACTION,EVENT_GADGETSELECT
			caret=CreateCaret(hwnd,Null,2,12)
			ShowCaret(hwnd)
			DebugLog "caret="+caret
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
		Case EVENT_APPTERMINATE
			End
	End Select
Wend
