BalloonLabels Object

A collection of BalloonLabel objects that represent all the labels in the Office Assistant balloon.

Note
The Microsoft Office Assistant and AnswerWizard have been depreciated in the release of the Microsoft Office system.

Remarks

Use the Labels property to return the BalloonLabels collection.

Use Labels(index), whereis a number from 1 through 5, to return a BalloonLabelobject. You can specify up to five labels (and five check boxes) per balloon; each label appears when a value is assisgned to its Textproperty. If you specify more than five labels, a run-time error occurs.

Balloon check boxes display the user's choices until the user dismisses the balloon. You can use balloon labels to return a number corresponding to the user's choice in the Select method as soon as the user clicks the button beside the label. To pass values to the Select method based on the user's choice, you must have the balloon type set to msoBalloonTypeButtons.

Example

The following example creates a balloon containing three choices. The variable returnValue is set to the return value of the Show method, which will be 1, 2, or 3, corresponding to the label the user clicks. The example returns the value of the variable returnValue, which you can either pass to another procedure or use in a Select Case statement.

Set b = Assistant.NewBalloon With b .Heading = "This is my heading" .Text = "Select one of these things:" .Labels(1).Text = "Choice One" .Labels(2).Text = "Choice Two" .Labels(3).Text = "Choice Three" returnValue = .Show End With
