<Swing Dev> [7] Review request for 6994562: Swing classes (both JTextArea and JTextField) don't support caret width tuning

[Vladislav Karnaukhov]

Hello Artem,

the property's change is tracked by native 
AwtDesktopProperties::getWindowsParameters() method, which is called 
from Java WDesktopProperties' call chain windowsSettingsChange -> 
updatePropertires -> getProperties. windowsSettingsChange method is 
called from native code when WM_SETTINGCHANGE message is received. Thus 
this call chain serves as "action listener", and caret width tuning will 
be tracked and handled along with any other possible Windows interface 
customization.

Regards,
- Vlad
