This specialized version of UIComp_DrawString handles rendering UIStrings for editboxes. The responsibilities specific to rendering text in editboxes are: 1. A caret must be rendered at the appropriate location in the string 2. Ensuring that the text surrounding the caret is always visible 3. Tracking the text that was typed by the user independently from the data source that the owning widget is bound to.
Todo: register this component with the data store for the caret image node so that it receives the refreshdatastore callback
