BeforeNavigate Event

Occurs when the user clicks a shortcut in the Shortcuts pane to navigate to a different folder. This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

Sub object_BeforeNavigate(ByVal Shortcut As OutlookBarShortcut, Cancel As Boolean)

object    An expression that evaluates to an OutlookBarPane object.

Shortcut Required. The shortcut that the user clicked.

Cancel       Optional. False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the current folder is not changed.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prevents the user from using the Shortcuts pane to open the Notes folder. 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 Microsoft Outlook. If you do not have a shortcut to the Notes folder already, you need to create one to run this example.

Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Public WithEvents myOlPane As Outlook.OutlookBarPane

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlPane = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
End Sub
Private Sub myOlPane_BeforeNavigate(ByVal Shortcut As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcut, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Shortcut.Name = "Notes" Then
        MsgBox "You cannot view the Notes folder."
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub
