Remarks

You can also use the ShowPane method or the IsPaneVisible method of an Explorer object to set or retrieve this value.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example toggles the visible state of the Shortcuts pane.

Sub ShowHideShortcutsBar()
	Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
	Dim myOlBar As Outlook.OutlookBarPane
	Set myOlBar = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
	myOlBar.Visible = Not myOlBar.Visible
End Sub
		

If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
 Set myOlBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
 myOlBar.Visible = Not myOlBar.Visible
End Sub
