SelectNamesDialog Object (Outlook)
Displays the Select Names dialog box for the user to select entries from one or more address lists, and returns the selected entries in the collection object specified by the property SelectNamesDialog.Recipients.
Version Information
Version Added: Outlook 2007
Remarks
You can instantiate an instance of the SelectNamesDialog object by calling NameSpace.GetSelectNamesDialog.
The dialog box displayed by SelectNamesDialog.Display is similar to the Select Names dialog box in the Outlook user interface. It observes the size and position settings of the built-in Select Names dialog box. However, its default state does not show Message Recipients above the To, Cc, and Bcc edit boxes. For more information on using the SelectNamesDialog object to display the Select Names dialog box, see Display Names from the Address Book.
Example
The following code sample shows how to use the SelectNamesDialog object to display entries from the Contacts folder in a dialog box that resembles the Select Names dialog box in the Outlook user interface.
Sub ShowContactsInDialog()
Dim oDialog As SelectNamesDialog
Dim oAL As AddressList
Dim oContacts As Folder
Set oDialog = Application.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog
Set oContacts = _
Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
'Look for the address list that corresponds with the Contacts folder
For Each oAL In Application.Session.AddressLists
If oAL.GetContactsFolder = oContacts Then
Exit For
End If
Next
With oDialog
'Initialize the dialog box with the address list representing the Contacts folder
.InitialAddressList = oAL
.ShowOnlyInitialAddressList = True
If .Display Then
'Recipients Resolved
'Access Recipients using oDialog.Recipients
End If
End With
End Sub
