Rectangular Balloon Override doesn't work

[NSBowser]

When attempting to override a balloon style with the API, I would like to create a rectangular balloon (as is possible with the manual balloon edit options) using the following process:

   oBalloon.SetBalloonType(kRectangleBalloonType) ' or 48135

However, doing so creates a balloon with a triangular frame, which isn't even one of the listed options.

To check the values of the enum, I created a box balloon manually, and used the following code, which did return 48135:

   oBalloon.GetBalloonType(balloonType, data)

Any thoughts on what is wrong? 

It appears to be a problem with the API, so I'm not even sure there is a work around possible...

That does look like a glitch with the API, the API guide for this has values from 48129-48135, maybe using one of the other numbers or balloon types might get you the result you want.  It is weird you'd get a triangle, usually that shape is used for revision notation.  Unless you have a need to have different shaped balloons in your drawings, you can change the balloon shape in the Styles Editor.

is this fixed in inventor 2019?

the other numbers you suggest didn't work for me.

thanks,

This still seems to be an issue in Inventor 2024. @johnsonshiue Could you have a look at this so it could get fixed?

In the i-logic it is not listed and that is weird:
