Explorer.Deactivate Event

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Occurs when an explorer stops being the active window, either as a result of user action or through program code.

Syntax

expression.Deactivate

expression   A variable that represents an Explorer object.

Remarks

This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the WindowState property to minimize the topmost explorer window when it is not active. The sample code must be placed in a class module, and the Initialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Outlook.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub


Private Sub myOlExp_Deactivate()
myOlExp.WindowState = olMinimized
End Sub
