Use a timer, and set the Interval to for example 500. In the timer event,
you issue:

yourtextbox.visible = NOT yourtextbox.visible

You should be aware that blinking objects run contrary to Windows UI
guidelines.

Oh, but it's so much fun trying to induce epileptic fits in users!

You should be aware that Windows UI guidelines often run contrary to User
Specifications. : )

I think the only reason that "it's against Windows guidelines" is that the
blinking has to be handled by software (timers, etc.). Back in the old DOS
days, blink was a hardware attribute, so no overhead involved.
