NewExplorer Event

Occurs whenever a new explorer window is opened, either as a result of user action or through program code. This event is not available in VBScript.

object   An expression that evaluates to an Explorers collection object.

Explorer   Required. The explorer that was opened.

Remarks

The event occurs after the new Explorer object is created but before the explorer window appears.

Example

This example minimizes the currently active explorer window when a new explorer is about to appear. 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 myOlExplorers As Outlook.Explorers

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlExplorers = myOlApp.Explorers
End Sub

Private Sub myOlExplorers_NewExplorer(ByVal Explorer As Outlook.Explorer)
    If TypeName(myOlApp.ActiveExplorer) <> "Nothing" Then
        myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMinimized
    End If
End Sub
