Caret stops blinking event in TextBox WPF

I am looking for an event that will fire when the caret of a TextBox stops blinking. Lets say I have:

<TextBox LostFocus="txtBox_LostFocus" />

In order for the event txtBox_LostFocus to be fired another control has to receive focus meanwhile that control has focus. If I click on the textbox the | starts blinking. When I click outside the textbox the | stops blinking and the LostFocus event doesn't get called why? The LostFocus event only gets called if I click on another focusable control. How can I know when the | stops blinking?

Note I call the | a cursor perhaps it has a different name.

Also

I used the Keyboard.ClearFocus(); when the user presses ENTER on the textbox to stop the Caret from blinking. This also raises the LostKeyboardFocus event!

I'm not able to test it just at this second, but looking at the available events for the TextBox class on MSDN there is a LostKeyboardFocus event that sounds like it might be what you're after.

LostKeyboardFocus - Occurs when the keyboard is no longer focused on this element. (Inherited from UIElement.)
