Title: Wingding
Post by: Petrus Vorster on December 06, 2023, 08:27:42 AM
Hi All

In old Qbasic there was a certain color range that would provide flashing text.
I have now need of a single Wingding3 to flash...  :)

I hide it when not in need and it pop's up when needed to draw attention from a user to make him aware that the down-key will autofill some fields.
I get the feeling it will be a lot of code or a GIF of sorts.  ;)

It's not that important, but if its possible, then I would like to give it a shot.

hmmmm.... I think that you would need to set up a Timer and change the background color of your Wingding Label based on the time frame you specify. This should simulate a flashing effect.

That may just work.  ;D

Thanks. - Peter
