Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prompts the user with a message before the window is minimized. If the user clicks Yes, the explorer is minimized. 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 Initalize_Handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeMinimize(Cancel As Boolean)
'Prompts the user before minimizing the Explorer
Dim lngAns As Long
lngAns = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to minimize the current window?", vbYesNo)
If lngAns = vbYes Then
Cancel = False
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
