BALLOON.VBX - Balloon Help Text Custom Control
=============================================================================
DESCRIPTION:
The BALLOON.VBX allows you to add a unique balloon help feature to your VB
application. BALLOON.VBX functions like cartoon speech balloons. Help text
is displayed in a popup window. Provide help text display for all the
controls and windows of windows, dialogs and forms.
BALLOON.VBX is the ideal control to add polish to applications. Great for
adding help prompting to corporate applications and cuts down on user
training time. Get users of your VB applications up to speed fast. Your
users may wonder why all applications don't have this feature.
