| Outlook Developer Reference |
Returns a RuleConditions collection object that represents all the available rule conditions for the rule. Read-only.
Version Information
Version Added: Outlook 2007
Syntax
expression.Conditions
expression A variable that represents a Rule object.
Remarks
A condition for a rule states the condition under which the rule should be applied. Both the Conditions and Exceptions properties share the same pool of conditions and return a corresponding RuleConditions collection object.
Programmatically you can enumerate and enable rules with any rule condition that the Rules and Alerts Wizard support, but you can create rules that have only the most commonly used rule conditions, and not any rule condition that the Rules and Alerts Wizard supports. For more information on rule condition support, see Specify Rule Conditions.
Through the Conditions property, each rule is associated with a RuleConditions object. The RuleConditions collection is a fixed object - you cannot add or remove items from this collection. Rule conditions that are enabled in the rule will have an enabled rule condition in the RuleConditions collection. Rule conditions that are not enabled in the rule will have a rule condition in this collection that has the RuleCondition.Enabled property set to False. Rule conditions that are not supported during programmatic rule creation can only be enumerated in the RuleConditions collection for an existing rule, but because the RuleConditions collection is fixed, you cannot create a rule and add such a condition to the associated RuleConditions collection.
