Instantiate: sometimes Subclass: sometimes Call its methods: rarely
You might create an object of class SpoutedEditWindow if you want to have an edit window with a balloon spout that points to the item being edited.
Class SpoutedEditWindow defines the following method:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
BalloonDot |
Overridden to get balloon dot position from editSpoutPosition field. |
Methods that have long descriptions should be listed here with cross references. Use the Method Table reference format. (Since my old book template called this table a "Field Table", I've created a new table format with that name. It's a duplicate of the Method Table format.) All my cross reference formats use the XRefColor character tag, which just turns the text red.
