Hi Ko,
>>Hi everybody,

>>I've just added a new function for one of my application, called clone. The code is simple:

>>local oTemp
>>scatter name oTemp memo
>>append blank
>>oTemp.FunctionID = FunctionID
>>gather name oTemp memo
>>
>>I think, I have to add a label, which would indicate, that this is a new cloned record and would be visible untill save or revert buttons would be pressed. Threfore my question: how can I create a flashing effect for this label by simplest way? I'm not sure, that I want to use timer for this...

Yes, this is what I have in mind. But in order to get user's attention, I want for this label to be 'flashing' label, IOW, letters should blink. The best instance of this behavior: 'Running...' It's not hard to design the class for this label (container: label+timer with few lines of code), but may be somebody already designed this class, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel (I'm quite a lazy person :)).
Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
