Store.Categories property (Outlook)
Returns a Categories collection that represents all of the categories that are defined for the Store. Read-only.
Syntax
expression. Categories
expression A variable that represents a Store object.
Remarks
This property is similar to the Categories property of the NameSpace object, except that the Store.Categories property applies to a session profile that specifies one or more accounts and Store.Categories specifies the categories for the store that an account is associated with, whereas NameSpace.Categories applies to a session profile that defines only one account and the NameSpace.Categories property specifies the Master Category List for that session.
For certain secondary delivery stores such as an IMAP store, the Categories property returns the Categories collection for the primary store. IMAP stores don't actually support a separate categories collection.
Example
The following code sample in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) displays the name of each Category object that is contained in the Categories collection associated with each Store object in the Stores collection for the session.
Sub EnumerateCategoriesForStores()
Dim oStores As Outlook.Stores
Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
Dim oCategories As Outlook.Categories
Dim oCategory As Outlook.Category
Set oStores = Application.Session.Stores
For Each oStore In oStores
Debug.Print oStore.DisplayName
Debug.Print "--------------Categories-----------------"
Set oCategories = oStore.Categories
For Each oCategory In oCategories
Debug.Print Chr(9) & oCategory.Name
Next
Debug.Print ""
Next
End Sub
