IsBalloonStyleSupported Method

Description

The IsBalloonStyleSupported method determines whether the balloon tool tip style is supported.

Syntax

Public Function IsBalloonStyleSupported() As Boolean

Return Type

Returns True if the balloon tool tip style is supported. Returns False if the balloon tool tip is not supported.

Remarks

Balloon tips require that Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater be installed. IsBalloonStyleSupported will return False if Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater is not installed.

The ShowTitleAndDescription method also requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater to be installed, so the IsBalloonStyleSupported method can be used to check if the ShowTitleAndDescription method can be used as well.
