I am not sure I understand why do you need clipping at all to render rectangular caret bar (note: cursor is a different entity in UI professional jargon). What exactly you want to be clipped out?

I am assuming that your caret bar may be overlapping text in some way, or that there is a background bitmap that you might be alpha-blending against, etc. Basically I don't want to make an assumption that might break if the UI gets nicer. The case of a strictly opaque strictly rectangular non-antialiased non-smoothly-moving bar does not seem very interesting or nice-looking.

  Are you speaking about some particular implementation of this all just from your imagination?

    You are talking to someone who has done 3D rendering professionally for 21 years. What's your background?
