Boolean

False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the shortcut is not added to the group.

Remarks

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

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prevents a user from adding a shortcut to the first group in the Shortcuts pane. 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.

Dim WithEvents myOlShortcuts As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcuts 
Dim myOlBar As Outlook.OutlookBarPane 
 
Sub Initialize_handler() 
 Set myOlBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar") 
 Set myOlShortcuts = myOlBar.Contents.Groups.Item(1).Shortcuts 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub myOlShortcuts_BeforeShortcutAdd(Cancel As Boolean) 
 MsgBox "You are not allowed to add a shortcut to this group." 
 Cancel = True 
End Sub
