Remarks

If you are using Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you should typically use the GetInspector method to refer to the Inspector object associated with the form, for example:

Set myInspector = Item.GetInspector

Example

This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the ActiveInspector method to obtain the currently active Inspector object and enables the display of keys in ToolTips in the inspector.

Sub DisplayKeys()
'Enables key in ToolTips
    Dim myolapp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
    Set myolapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myinspector = myolapp.ActiveInspector

    'Test if an inspector is active
    If Not TypeName(myinspector) = "Nothing" Then
          myinspector.CommandBars.DisplayKeysInTooltips = True
    End If

End Sub
