Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property BlinkRate As Integer

public int BlinkRate { get; set; }

public:
property int BlinkRate {
    int get ();
    void set (int value);
}

/** @property */
public int get_BlinkRate ()

/** @property */
public void set_BlinkRate (int value)

public function get BlinkRate () : int

public function set BlinkRate (value : int)

Remarks

A blink cycle is the period of time when text completes an on-off-on cycle during blinking. After BlinkRate is set, the service object will set the blink rate to the closest supported rate and change BlinkRate to reflect the actual rate. Performing this approximation is necessary because blink cycles are hardware dependent and probably not controllable at precise millisecond granularity.

BlinkRate is typically initialized to 0 (zero).

Accessing BlinkRate may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode:

Value	Meaning
Illegal	BlinkRate has been set to a value less than zero, or BlinkRate has been set to a valid value but the CapBlinkRate property is set to false, indicating that the device doesn’t support blinking.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread-safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
