blink a self made button

[KitChongYue]

Hi all,

How to make a self-made button/control blink ?

Thank you very much for reply

It doesn't matter if it is "self made" (which I assume is a highly-modifed custom control or an X-Control), make a Property Node, select the Blinking property, and set it to True.

... and makes sure your forground color is not the same as the blink color.

The blink forground and background colors can be modified to suit your taste by changing the IDE Tools> Options> Enviorment> colors selections for bilnk foreground and backround.  this affects ALL controls in memory (they bilnk the same color).

 

This snippet shows two methods to make a control blink- one in the IDE blink colors one that is adjustable

It's a good thing that you mentionned that you were showing2 methods..

After a quick glance at your diagram I went... !What?!  Oh..  okay..  (as I saw the next line..) 🙂

It's a good example of the two methods.  

The most common (usual) approach is the property node.
