How To Blink Text Message Text in CVI

[cjp1]

Hi , does anyone know how to blink text in a text message control in CVI.

Thanks for any help

You can;

- toggle the text color between the current value and text message background color, or

- toggle the message text between the required value and an empty string ("")

Both will simulate a blinking effect.

Do you want to do it continuously or for a limited time?

It will be for a limited time.

I was thinking that there was a control character that could be added to the text string to cause the text to blink.

Unfortunately, there is no such straightforward method for blinking a text.

You need to code it explicitly.
