Occurs before the explorer changes to a new view, either as a result of user action or through program code. This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).
Sub object_BeforeViewSwitch(ByVal NewView As String, Cancel As Boolean)
object An expression that evaluates to an Explorer object.
NewView Required. The name of the view the explorer is switching to.
Cancel Optional. False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the switch is cancelled and the current view is not changed.
Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example confirms that the user wants to switch views and cancels the switch if the user answers No. 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.
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeViewSwitch(ByVal NewView As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Prompt As String
Prompt = "Are you sure you want to switch to the " & NewView & " view?"
If MsgBox(Prompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then Cancel = True
End Sub
