Hi Arni,

I am not sure, wether i am right or not nor wether it is the best way to do it.

I would derive a class from Label and reimplement the Paint Method of StaticText

void StaticText::Paint(Draw& w)
{
 Size sz = GetSize();
 if(!IsTransparent())
  w.DrawRect(0,0,sz.cx,sz.cy,SColorFace);    
 PaintLabel(w,0,0,sz.cx,sz.cy,!IsShowEnabled(),false,false,VisibleAccessKeys()); 
}

void StaticText::Paint(Draw& w)
{
 Size sz = GetSize();
 if(!IsTransparent())   
  w.DrawRect(0,0,sz.cx,sz.cy,BackgroundColor);
 PaintLabel(w,0,0,sz.cx,sz.cy,!IsShowEnabled(),false,false,VisibleAccessKeys()); 
}

and add "Color BackgroundColor" and the get/set-Method to your derived Class

to get it blinking create a Callback-Function, that changes your Backgroundcolor and let it be called each n ms by setting up a TimeCallback with Ctrl::SetTimeCallback(int delay_ms, Callback cb, int id)

hope that helps and isnt too bad,
Bas
