Do you only want the text to blink?

Unfortunately the blink background is a fixed Environment option in LV.  You'll have to roll your own.

[mike_31]

yes only the text blinking.

Actually tou can change it Options > Environmet > Blink foreground and blink background BUT it only applies to new vi's.  You can't change it after the vi is first opened and you can really mess with co-developers heads by using a non-default setting.:womanmad:

You can access the controls property text>colors and use a loop to get a pseudo blink effect.

Here is how I would do it. You will have to make it fit your code. I would probably put it outside of the main loop and use events to tell it when to blink. You could use a reference to the control that you want to blink. It reall depends on how your program works and what is easier for you.

Thanks aeastet 

I think It's the right solution.

Tanks a lot

Then you should make it as the solution so that everyone knows that your problem is solved.

With this you can cause any property to 'blink' between any two values.
