Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example displays the number of explorer windows that are open.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Private Sub CountExplorers()
    MsgBox "There are " & _
        Application.Explorers.Count & " Explorers."
End Sub

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Count property and Item method of the Selection collection returned by the Selection property to display the senders of all mail items selected in the explorer that displays the Inbox. To run this example, you need to have at least one mail item selected in the explorer displaying the Inbox. You might receive an error if you select items other than a mail item such as task request as the SenderName property does not exist for a TaskRequestItem object.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub GetSelectedItems()
    Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim myOlSel As Outlook.Selection
    Dim MsgTxt As String
    Dim x As Integer

MsgTxt = "You have selected items from: "
Set myOlExp = Application.Explorers.Item(1)
If myOlExp = "Inbox" Then
Set myOlSel = myOlExp.Selection
For x = 1 To myOlSel.Count
    MsgTxt = MsgTxt & myOlSel.Item(x).SenderName & ";"
Next x
MsgBox MsgTxt



End If
End Sub
