Filled leader callout

Purpose
This sample shows how to extend ArcObjects to build a custom text background. ArcMap includes the following text backgrounds:
  • Balloon callout
  • Line callout
  • Marker text background
  • Simple line callout
The custom text background in this sample is a filled leader callout and is similar to the balloon callout except, as its name suggests, the leader can be filled with a symbol that differs from the balloon.

How to use
