Jerry:
I don't know of any like the dBase days of adding something to the label and
what that something is I can't remember...
I have a timer event on a 750ms blink that is just about the right speed in my
real time VFP 9 stats package that runs during a game. This is timer method
that fires when 1 or both goaltenders is/are off the ice on a delayed penalty.
The blink reminds the statistician to put the goaltender back on the next face
off.
do case
case empty(gaOn_ice(13,1)) and empty(gaOn_ice_opp(13,1)) &&blink both
if gbInit_goal_labels then &&make them both visible so they blink
synchronized...
gbInit_goal_labels = .f.
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible = .t.
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible = .t.
endif
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Caption = "Goal Tender Off Ice..."
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible = not thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Caption = "Goal Tender Off Ice..."
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible = not
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible
case empty(gaOn_ice(13,1)) and not empty(gaOn_ice_opp(13,1)) &&NJ Goal
tender empty
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Caption = "Goal Tender Off Ice..."
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible = not thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Caption = "Goal Tender..."
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible = .t.
case not empty(gaOn_ice(13,1)) and empty(gaOn_ice_opp(13,1)) &&Opponent Goal
tender empty
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Caption = "Goal Tender Off Ice..."
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible = not
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Caption = "Goal Tender..."
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible = .t.
otherwise &&both goaltenders are on ice...
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Caption = "Goal Tender..."
thisform.cntDevils.lblGoal.Visible = .t.
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Caption = "Goal Tender..."
thisform.cntOpp.lblGoal_opp.Visible = .t.
gbInit_goal_labels = .t.
this.Enabled = .f. &&shut the timer off...
endcase
This may jog your creative juices.
Regards,
Jack Skelley

Is there a vfp function or property to flash text other than using a timer?
Thanks Jerry
