Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a warning message before the item is cut from the folder. If the user clicks Yes, the item is cut from the folder. If the user clicks No, the item will not be removed from the folder. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the Initialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.
Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeItemCut(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before cutting an item
Dim lngAns As Long
'Display question to user
lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to cut the item?", vbYesNo)
'Set cancel argument based on user's answer
If lngAns = vbYes Then
Cancel = False
ElseIf lngAns = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
