Using the Blink Option
You can toggle blinking on or off for screen text, inner text or the
inner graphic of an object. Blinking applies to an entire text string
not individual letters or words in the string. The blink option isn’t
available 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 text during application design.
Only the text blinks, not the object. To activate blinking for the
object, select the object and then choose Blink from the Format
menu or click the Blink tool.
To toggle blinking for text:
1. Select the object with text you want to blink.
2. Click the Inner Text tool on the tool bar.
Or choose Inner Text from the Format menu.
3. If the object is multistate, 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.
4. Click the Blink tool on the Format bar.
Or choose Blink from the Format menu.
The entire text string blinks.
5. To resize, align, underline or set colors for the text, click the
appropriate tools on the Format bar.
6. To exit inner text mode, choose the Inner Text command or tool.
Blinking remains active until you turn it off.
For multistate objects, you can activate blinking for a specific state
directly from the State tab of the object’s dialog.
