I want to create a blinking tabpage

[eRJe]

On command a certain tab-page should start blinking with a specified color. When a user clicks on the tab-page (or somewhere else on the tab) the page should stop blinking. I can't find a blinking option which the LED does have.

I do not see a Blinking property for individual tab pages, however with LabVIEW 7 you can specify a different color for each Tab page. With a property node in a loop, you could alternate colors for the tab that needs to appear to blink.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I tried that option but then I have to put a delay in the loop which switches the 2 colors and that will give me problems with timing in the rest of my vi.

You could have a separate while loop with its own timing to control the blinking of a tab control. You will have to come up with a cool way to control when it is blinking, but it is definitely possible.
