Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a Search object. The user's Inbox is specified as the scope of the search. The event subroutine occurs when the search has completed and displays the **Tag**and Scope properties for the new object in addition to the results of the search.

Public blnSearchComp As Boolean

Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)
    MsgBox "The AdvancedSearchComplete Event fired for " & SearchObject.Tag & " and the scope was " & SearchObject.Scope
    blnSearchComp = True
End Sub

Sub TestAdvancedSearchComplete()
    'List all items in the Inbox that do NOT have a flag.
    Dim objSch As Outlook.Search
    Const strF As String = "urn:schemas:httpmail:messageflag IS NULL"
    Const strS As String = "Inbox"
    Dim rsts As Outlook.Results
    Dim i As Integer
    blnSearchComp = False
    Const strF1 As String = "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject = 'Test'"
    Const strS1 As String = "Inbox"
    Set objSch = _
        Application.AdvancedSearch(Scope:=strS1, Filter:=strF1, Tag:="FlagSearch")
    While blnSearchComp = False
        DoEvents
    Wend
    Set rsts = objSch.Results
    For i = 1 To rsts.Count
        MsgBox rsts.Item(i).SenderName
    Next
End Sub
