Thanks a lot.<br />
<br />
I know of MSAgent, but that's not what I'm looking for. Right now, I'm just finding out ways to output similar text bubbles using my program. I won't need to use Robbie.<br />
<br />
Thanks anyway.<br />

Yes, but the bubble is very squarish...<br />
I'm looking for more towards the look of the bubble as used in Office Agent or MSAgent.<br />
<br />
Thanks anyway.<br />

Anyone out there knows if it is possible to use the assistant in my own program?<br />
<br />
Actually, my question is, the text bubble of the Office Assistant is probably available in some dll or something. Is it possible to use the bubble already implemented by microsoft and hence use the text bubble to output my own text strings in my VB program? Is there some API or something?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Office 97 Assistant and it's text bubble

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
