Using the Blink Option
You can toggle blinking on or off for an object (including fill pattern
and border). For multistate objects you can toggle blinking on or off
for each state. The blink option is not valid for list objects.
The blink rate is approximately .5 seconds and is activated when the
application is running in the PanelView terminal. Blinking isn’t
activated for an object during application design.
Text within the object does not blink. To activate blinking for text,
enter inner text mode and then select the blink option.
To toggle blinking for an object:
1. Select the object.
2. If the object is a multistate object, select a state.
•
From the tool bar, select a state from the State box.
•
Or choose Next State or Previous State from the Format menu.
3. Click the Blink tool on the Format bar.
Or choose Blink from the Format menu.
Blinking is set for the object but the object maintains all other
characteristics such as fill pattern, line type and so on.
If blinking is invalid for an object, the command is dimmed.
For multistate objects, you can activate blinking for a state directly
from the State tab of the object’s dialog.
