Examples

This example replaces the custom drop for shape one on myDocument with one of two preset drops, depending on whether the custom drop value is greater than or less than half the height of the callout text box. For the example to work, shape one must be a callout.

<span class="label">Set myDocument = Worksheets(1)  















With myDocument.Shapes(1).Callout  















    If .DropType = msoCalloutDropCustom Then  















        If .</span>
<i>Drop</i>
<span class="label">&lt; .Parent.Height / 2 Then             .PresetDrop msoCalloutDropTop         Else             .PresetDrop msoCalloutDropBottom         End If     End If End With</span>

Remarks

This distance is measured from the top of the text box unless the AutoAttach property is set to True and the text box is to the left of the origin of the callout line (the place that the callout points to), in which case the drop distance is measured from the bottom of the text box.

Use the CustomDrop(Single) method to set the value of this property.

The value of this property accurately reflects the position of the callout line attachment to the text box only if the callout has an explicitly set drop value — that is, if the value of the DropType property is msoCalloutDropCustom.
