OutlookBarPane.BeforeNavigate Event

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Occurs when the user clicks a shortcut in the Shortcuts pane to navigate to a different folder.

Syntax

expression.BeforeNavigate(Shortcut, Cancel)

expression   A variable that represents an OutlookBarPane object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Shortcut Required OutlookBarShortcut The shortcut that the user clicked.
Cancel Required Boolean False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the current folder is not changed.

Remarks

This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prevents the user from using the Shortcuts pane to open the Notes folder. The sample code must be placed in a class module, and the Initialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook. If you do not have a shortcut to the Notes folder already, you need to create one to run this example.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public WithEvents myOlPane As Outlook.OutlookBarPane

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlPane = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
End Sub


Private Sub myOlPane_BeforeNavigate(ByVal Shortcut As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcut, Cancel As Boolean)
If Shortcut.Name = "Notes" Then
MsgBox "You cannot view the Notes folder."
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
