Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example hides the Attachment Options task pane when an attachment is added to an e-mail item. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the TestAttachRead() procedure should be called before the event procedure can be called by Outlook. For this example to run without errors, a file called Test.txt should exist in the C:\ folder.

    Public WithEvents newItem As Outlook.MailItem

Private Sub newItem_AttachmentAdd(ByVal newAttachment As Attachment)
   newItem.EnableSharedAttachments = False
   newItem.Display
End Sub

Public Sub TestAttachAdd()
    Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim atts As Outlook.Attachments
    Dim newAttachment As Outlook.Attachment

    Set newItem = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    newItem.Subject = "Test attachment"
    Set atts = newItem.Attachments
    Set newAttachment = atts.Add("C:\Test.txt", olByValue)
End Sub
