Lefo Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Can FileMaker Pro display blinking text? I'd like to show that something is incomplete by setting a text field to blink to alert someone that they need to work on something. Is this possible?

Anatoli Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Not natively. You can program script which will blink let say 3 times in 1 second and the will display “!” over whole display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefo Posted June 24, 2001 Author Share Posted June 24, 2001 Hm. Interesting. Can it be scripted to just blink a field? TIA Lefo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 We do not have blinking here, probably because of platform incompatibility. I am usually OK with calculated field, which has something like: If everything is OK display "" (empty) else display "!" (red and big) endif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefo Posted June 25, 2001 Author Share Posted June 25, 2001 Thank you, Anatoli. You've been most helpful, and you have given me alternative ideas to work with. Lefo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
