Explorer.BeforeMinimize Event

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Occurs when the active explorer is minimized by the user.

Syntax

expression.BeforeMinimize(Cancel)

expression   A variable that represents an Explorer object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
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 is not minimized.

Remarks

This event can be cancelled after it has started.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a message before the window is minimized. If the user clicks Yes, the explorer is minimized. 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.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

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


Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeMinimize(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before minimizing the Explorer


Dim lngAns As Long

lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to minimize the current window?", vbYesNo)
If lngAns = vbYes Then
    Cancel = False
Else
    Cancel = True
End If



End Sub
