// 1) Start a timer. If in a dialog class, start the timer in the
// OnInitDialog message handler:

	SetTimer(
		1,				// event ID
		250,			// time in milliseconds
		NULL);			// causes a WM_TIMER message to be sent to this window

// 2) Add a WM_TIMER message handler to hide and show the text in question:

void CWzdDialog::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) 
{
	if (nIDEvent==1)
	{
		static BOOL t=TRUE;
		m_ctrlStatic.ShowWindow((t=!t)?SW_SHOW:SW_HIDE);
	}

	CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// To add flashing dialog or other window...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// 1) Start a timer as seen above.

// 2) Add a WM_TIMER message handler that uses FlashWindow() to toggle the
// caption bar of that window from active to inactive:

void CWzdDialog::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent) 
{
	FlashWindow(
		TRUE		// if FALSE, forces caption bar to be active--useful
					//  when flashing stops and you want bar to be active
		);

	CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
