Flashing label without ontimer event

[din2005]

Hey up everyone!

Is there way to flash a label without using the ontimer event. Since am already using the ontimer event for something else????

Any sample code or examples will be very useful

many thanks

Why not just use the OnTimer event for more than one thing?

If you want those two things to have different timer intervals, just declare a variable at form-level, increment it at each loop through the timer event code and only perform the less frequent action when the counter variable reaches a certain value.

With a Static variable you may have the Timer event procedure doing different things at different intervals.

Hope This Helps, PH.
