Explorer.BeforeMove event (Outlook)

expression A variable that represents an Explorer object.

Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a message before the explorer is moved by the user. If the user clicks Yes, the explorer can be moved by the user. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the Initialize_Handler() subroutine should be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.
Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Sub Initialize_Handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeMove(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before moving the window
Dim lngAns As Long
lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to move the current window? Use your keyboard to make your selection.", vbYesNo)
If lngAns = vbYes Then
Cancel = False
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
