Hi George,

I want one particular label to be flashing in some condition, not the whole form. Could you please send me a sample of this behavior to my work e-mail? (click on white envelope). Currently I've just put a label with big blue letters and I think, I'm satisfied for now, but perhaps I will decide to switch to something more fancy...

Thanks in advance.

>Hi Nadya,
>I just started using this control the other day. It works great and is really simple. The FLICK() method is just like a switch. The first time it is called the light turns on. The second time it is called it is turned off. There are a couple of properties to set the blink interval and another to set the color. If I can provide you with any other info just let me know.

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 :)).

Why not put that flashing LED light from the files section there too? <bg>
