fx_Blink()
Produces a blinking effect.
Syntax:
fx_Blink( <cBaseAttr>, <cSecondAttr>, [<lSoftBlink>] ) -> NIL
Arguments:
<cBaseAttr> is a character string containing an attribute symbol
to blink FROM. The attribute symbol must be one of the following
color symbols supported by Clipper:
"N", "B", "G", "BG", "R", "RB", "GR", "W", "N+", "B+", "G+", "BG+",
"R+", "RB+", "GR+", or "W+". (Case is not important.)
<cSecondAttr> is also a character string containing an attribute
symbol to blink TO. The attribute symbol must also be one of the
color symbols supported by Clipper.
<lSoftBlink> is a logical TRUE or FALSE (.T./.F.). When TRUE, the
blinking effect is "softened" by fading <cSecondAttr>. The default
value is FALSE.
Returns:
Always returns a NIL value.
Description:
fx_Blink() produces a blinking effect by alternating <cBaseAttr>
and <cSecondAttr> repeatedly thus creating an on/off effect. If an
undefined attribute symbol is specified or an error occurs, the
effect will not occur. Usually <cBaseAttr> is a foreground
attribute and <cSecondAttr> is a background attribute, but this
does not have to be the case.
Examples:
// Blinks attribute "r" to attribute "g".
fx_Blink( "r", "g" )
// Blinks attribute "w" to attribute "n" with a softened effect.
fx_Blink( "w", "n", .T. )
