Deactivate Event

Microsoft Outlook Visual Basic

Deactivate Event

       

Occurs when an explorer or inspector ceases to be the active window, either as a result of user action or through program code. This event is not available in VBScript.

Sub object_Deactivate()

object   An expression that evaluates to an Explorer or Inspector object.

Example

This example uses the WindowState property to minimize the topmost explorer window when it is not active. 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 Outlook.Application
Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
End Sub

Private Sub myOlExp_Deactivate()
    myOlExp.WindowState = olMinimized
End Sub
