MailItem.Close event (Outlook)
Occurs when the inspector associated with an item (which is an instance of the parent object) is being closed.
Syntax
expression.Close (Cancel)
expression A variable that represents a MailItem object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel | Required | Boolean | (Not used in VBScript). False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the close operation is not completed and the inspector is left open. |
Remarks
In Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), if you set the return value of this function to False, the close operation isn't completed and the inspector is left open.
If you use the Close method to fire this event, it can only be canceled if the Close method uses the olPromptForSave argument.
Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example tests for the Close event and if the item has not been Saved, it uses the Save method to save the item without prompting the user.
Public WithEvents myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Public Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
End Sub
Private Sub myItem_Close(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not myItem.Saved Then
myItem.Save
MsgBox " The item was saved."
End If
End Sub
