BeforeItemCut Event

Microsoft Outlook Visual Basic

Private Sub explorer_BeforeItemCut(Cancel As Boolean)

explorer    An expression that returns an Explorer object.

Cancel    Optional. False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the operation is not completed and the item is not deleted.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a warning message before the item is cut from the folder. If the user clicks Yes, the item is cut from the folder. If the user clicks No, the item will not be removed from the folder. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and theInitialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.

Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

   'Set cancel argument based on user's answer

       Cancel = False
