MailItem.Send event (Outlook)
Occurs when the user selects the Send action for an item, or when the Send method is called for the item, which is an instance of the parent object.
Syntax
expression. Send( _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 send 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 item is not sent.
Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Send event and sends an item with an automatic expiration date. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the SendMyMail procedure must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.
Public WithEvents myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Sub SendMyMail()
Set myItem = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
myItem.To = "Dan Wilson"
myItem.Subject = "Data files information"
myItem.Send
End Sub
Private Sub myItem_Send(Cancel As Boolean)
myItem.ExpiryTime = #2/2/2003 4:00:00 PM#
End Sub
