BeforeMove Event

Occurs when the **Inspector**or **Explorer**is moved by the user. This event can be cancelled after it has started.

Private Subexpression_BeforeMove(Cancel As Boolean)

*expression   * An expression that returns an object in the Applies To list declared with events in a class module.

*Cancel   * Required Boolean. False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the operation is not completed and the explorer or inspector is not moved.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a message before the explorer is moved by the user. If the user clicks Yes, the explorer can be moved by the user. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the Initialize_Handler() subroutine should be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.

Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

Sub Initalize_Handler()
    Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub

Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeMove(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before moving the window

    Dim lngAns As Long

    lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to move the current window? Use your keyboard to make your selection.", vbYesNo)
    If lngAns = vbYes Then
        Cancel = False
    Else
        Cancel = True
    End If

End Sub
