Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a Search object. The user's Inbox is specified as the scope of the search. The event subroutine occurs when the search has completed and displays the Tag and Scope properties for the new object in addition to the results of the search.

Public blnSearchComp As Boolean

Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)
	MsgBox "The AdvancedSearchComplete Event fired for " & SearchObject.Tag & " and the scope was " & SearchObject.Scope
	blnSearchComp = True
End Sub

Sub TestAdvancedSearchComplete()
	'List all items in the Inbox that do NOT have a flag.
	Dim objSch As Outlook.Search
	Const strF As String = "urn:schemas:httpmail:messageflag IS NULL"
	Const strS As String = "Inbox"
	Dim rsts As Outlook.Results
	Dim i As Integer
	blnSearchComp = False
	Const strF1 As String = "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject = 'Test'"
	Const strS1 As String = "Inbox"
	Set objSch = _
        Application.AdvancedSearch(Scope:=strS1, Filter:=strF1, Tag:="FlagSearch")
	While blnSearchComp = False
		DoEvents
	Wend
	Set rsts = objSch.Results
	For i = 1 To rsts.Count
		MsgBox rsts.Item(i).SenderName
	Next
End Sub
