Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<DispIdAttribute()> _
Function Respond ( _
    Response As OlTaskResponse, _
    fNoUI As Object, _
    fAdditionalTextDialog As Object _
) As TaskItem
'Usage
Dim instance As _TaskItem
Dim Response As OlTaskResponse
Dim fNoUI As Object
Dim fAdditionalTextDialog As Object
Dim returnValue As TaskItem

returnValue = instance.Respond(Response, _
    fNoUI, fAdditionalTextDialog)

[DispIdAttribute()]
TaskItem Respond(
    OlTaskResponse Response,
    Object fNoUI,
    Object fAdditionalTextDialog
)

Parameters

• Response
  Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlTaskResponse

  The response to the request.

• fNoUI
  Type: System.Object

  True to not display a dialog box; the response is sent automatically. False to display the dialog box for responding.

• fAdditionalTextDialog
  Type: System.Object

  False to not prompt the user for input; the response is displayed in the inspector for editing. True to prompt the user to either send or send with comments. This argument is valid only if fNoUI is False.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.TaskItem
A TaskItem that represents the response to the task request.

Remarks

When you call the Respond method with the olTaskAccept argument, Microsoft Outlook creates a new TaskItem that duplicates the task request item. The new item has a different Entry ID. Outlook then removes the original item.

The following table describes the behavior of the Respond method depending on the parent object, and the fNoUI and fAdditionalTextDialog parameters.

fNoUI, fAdditionalTextDialog	Result
True, True	Response item is returned with no user interface. To send the response, you must call the Send method.
True, False	Same result as with True, True.
False, True	If the Display method has been called, the user prompt appears. Otherwise, the item is sent without prompting and the resulting item is nothing.
False, False	Does nothing.
