Syntax

expression.BalloonError

expression A variable that represents an Assistant object.

Remarks

Example

This example creates a balloon that generates an error. The error is generated because the balloon is created without a way to dismiss it: the button type is set to msoButtonSetNone and the default balloon mode is msoModeModal, resulting in a buttonless, modal balloon. Note that there's no way to dismiss a buttonless modal balloon.

With Application.Assistant With .NewBalloon .Heading = "This will never show." .Text = "Imagine a balloon here." .Button = msoButtonSetNone .Show End With .Visible = True If .BalloonError = msoBalloonErrorButtonlessModal Then MsgBox "You need a button to dismiss the balloon." End If End With
