Explorer.BeforeMinimize event (Outlook)
Occurs when the active explorer is minimized by the user.
Syntax
expression. BeforeMinimize( _Cancel_ )
expression A variable that represents an Explorer object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel | Required | Boolean | False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the operation is not completed and the explorer is not minimized. |
Remarks
This event can be cancelled after it has started.
Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a message before the window is minimized. If the user clicks Yes, the explorer is minimized. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the Initialize_Handler() subroutine should be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.
Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeMinimize(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before minimizing the Explorer
Dim lngAns As Long
lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to minimize the current window?", vbYesNo)
If lngAns = vbYes Then
Cancel = False
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
