Is there anyway to change the style of text caret?

I know there are couple of posts about changing mouse cursor but nothing on changing text caret. I doubt if it is possible.

Yeah, I suppose it's not possible.

I tried CreateCaret and ShowCaret API with the following code, but with no luck. Both API returns 0 which means unsuccessful.
Code:
F9::
   hwnd := WinExist("A")
   ret1 := DllCall("CreateCaret", UInt, hwnd, UInt, 1, Int, 5, Int, 5)
   ret2 := DllCall("ShowCaret", UInt, hwnd)
   msgbox, CreateCaret Return: %ret1%`nShowCaret Return: %ret2%
   return

MasterFocus, I guess the link you provided explains the reason.

Tried with the same code with a window created by the script. It works.
So it's safe to say now that you don't have access to the caret of an external window doesn't belong to you.

Code:
Gui, Add, Edit
Gui, Show

hwnd := WinExist("A")
DllCall("CreateCaret", UInt, hwnd, UInt, 0, Int, 25, Int, 25)
DllCall("ShowCaret", UInt, hwnd)
