c# - How to implement a blinking label on a form -

i have form displays queue of messages , number messages can changed. want blink label (queue length) when number of messages increased improve form usability. should implement custom control , use additional thread or timer change color of label? has implemented functionality? best solution (less resources , less performance degradation) implement behaviour?

solution:

form's component timer can restrict number of animations per second , implement fade out effect external control background color.

you can create custom component , events start blinking. think solution. blinking can implement timer.
