Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Core
Assembly: office (in office.dll)

Usage

Public Class alloonImplementation
    Implements Balloon
End Class
Dim alloonImplementation1 As New alloonImplementation()

Syntax

Public Interface Balloon
    Inherits _IMsoDispObj
public interface Balloon : _IMsoDispObj
public interface class Balloon : public _IMsoDispObj
public interface Balloon implements _IMsoDispObj
public interface Balloon implements _IMsoDispObj

Remarks

A balloon can contain controls such as check boxes and labels.

Use the NewBalloon property to return a Balloon object. There isn't a collection for the Balloon object; only one balloon can be visible at a time. However, it's possible to define several balloons and display any one of them when needed.

Use the Show method to make the specified balloon visible. Use the Callback property to run procedures based on selections from modeless balloons (balloons that remain visible while a user works in the application). Use the Close method to close modeless balloons.

You can reuse balloon objects you've already created by assigning the object to a variable and displaying the variable when you need it.

Alternatively, instead of using separate variables, you can place the balloon object into an array.
