Explorer.Activate event (Outlook)

Occurs when an explorer becomes the active window, either as a result of user action or through program code.

Syntax

expression.Activate

expression A variable that represents an Explorer object.

Remarks

This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

Example

This code example uses the WindowState property to maximize the topmost explorer window when the Activate event occurs. 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.

Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer 
 
 
 
Public Sub Initialize_handler() 
 
 Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer 
 
End Sub 
 
 
 
Private Sub myOlExp_Activate() 
 
 If myOlExp.WindowState = olNormalWindow Then _ 
 
 myOlExp.WindowState = olMaximized 
 
End Sub
