Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Count property and Item method of the Selection collection returned by the Selection property to display the senders of all messages selected in the active explorer window. To run this example without errors, select items of type MailItem only. Other types such as ReportItem do not have the SenderName property and will cause an error.
Sub GetSelectedItems()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Dim myOlSel As Outlook.Selection
Dim MsgTxt As String
Dim x As Integer
MsgTxt = "You have selected items from: "
Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
Set myOlSel = myOlExp.Selection
For x = 1 To myOlSel.Count
MsgTxt = MsgTxt & myOlSel.Item(x).SenderName & ";"
Next x
MsgBox MsgTxt
End Sub
The following example adds the public folder Internal to the user's Favorites folder by using the AddToPFFavorites method.
Sub AddToFavorites()
'Adds a Public Folder to the List of favorites
Dim olapp As Outlook.Application
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set olapp = Outlook.Application
Set objFolder = olapp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders).Folders.Item("GroupDiscussion").Folders.Item("Standards").Folders.Item("Internal")
objFolder.AddToPFFavorites
End Sub
