Property of Control.

If TRUE, the control blinks.

If you set this property to TRUE for system controls, the controls might not blink correctly. System controls are designed specifically for use in dialog boxes and are not designed to blink because standard dialog boxes usually do not contain blinking controls. Also, you cannot use this property with XControls or controls on a subpanel.

This property is similar to the Blink Foreground and Blink Background options on the Colors page of the Options dialog box.
