You might not need to code it. Check out Control Panel -> Accessibility
options, you should find some variety of "i-beam width" adjuster to make the
little bliky text position i-beam thing anywhere from 1 pixel thin to
obnoxiously fat (I see it here in WinXP Pro at any rate). That would change
it in your and all apps on her PC. If you want it only adjusted via code in
your app, you'd have to figure out how to tinker with that setting
programatically, I'd imagine. Which I have no clue how to do that off the
top of my head, but I don't think it's a property of the textbox, I would
guess the textbox inherits that from whatever the OS setting happens to be.
