How to get some output in a text box Blinking

[isha]

I am showing some output say "Your complaint Number" in a text box in a form. I want to get it blinking. Can someone tell me how is it possible?
Thanks.

One approach is to use a Timer control. Set up the Timer with the interval to match the desired rate of blink. Inside the Timer Event handler, swap the foreground and background colors of the textbox, and refresh the textbox.

timer1.enabled=false
timer1.interval=50 'or whatever

in textbox_lostfocus()
timer1.enabled=(textbox.text="&quot
end sub

in Timer1_Timer()
if val(textbox.tag)=10 then
textbox.tag=0
textbox.backcolor=white
exit sub
end if
if textbox.backcolor=red then
textbox.backcolor=white
else
textbox.backcolor=red
end if
textbox.tag=val(textbox.tag)+1
end sub

something like that
