Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prevents the user from using the Shortcuts pane to open the Notes folder. 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. If you do not have a shortcut to the Notes folder already, you need to create one to run this example.
Public WithEvents myOlPane As Outlook.OutlookBarPane
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlPane = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
End Sub
Private Sub myOlPane_BeforeNavigate(ByVal Shortcut As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcut, Cancel As Boolean)
If Shortcut.Name = "Notes" Then
MsgBox "You cannot view the Notes folder."
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
