ActiveWindow Method

Returns an object representing the topmost Microsoft Outlook window on the desktop, either an Explorer or an Inspector object. If no Outlook explorer or inspector is open, returns Nothing.

expression   Required. An expression that returns an Application object.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications example minimizes the topmost Microsoft Outlook window if it is an inspector window.

Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
If TypeName(myOlApp.ActiveWindow) = "Inspector" Then
    myOlApp.ActiveWindow.WindowState = olMinimized
End If

If you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

If TypeName(Application.ActiveWindow) = "Inspector" Then
    Application.ActiveWindow.WindowState = 1
End If
