<CategoryAttribute("Appearance")>
Public Property CallOutEffect As Effect

Dim instance As CallOut
Dim value As Effect
 
instance.CallOutEffect = value
 
value = instance.CallOutEffect

[CategoryAttribute("Appearance")]
public Effect CallOutEffect {get; set;}

[CategoryAttribute("Appearance")]
public:
property Effect^ CallOutEffect {
   Effect^ get();
   void set (    Effect^ value);
}

Remarks

When you browse through CallOut properties, you would notice two similar Effect properties. The first is CallOutEffect and the other is Effect.

The difference between the two properties is the element of which the Bitmap Effect is applied. The CallOutEffect only applies the effect to CallOut shape, while Effect applies the effect to entire control’s element.

The following example shows the difference between using CallOutEffect and Effect.
