Explorer.SelectionChange Event

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Occurs when the user switches to a different item in a folder using the user interface (UI) or programmatically.

Syntax

expression.SelectionChange

expression   A variable that represents an Explorer object.

Remarks

This event also occurs when the user, either programmatically or using the user inerface, clicks or switches to a different folder that contains items as Outlook automatically selects the first item in that folder. However, this event does not occur if the folder is a file-system folder or if any folder with a current Web view is displayed. This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example displays the number of items selected in the active explorer window whenever the selection changes. 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.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public WithEvents myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub


Private Sub myOlExp_SelectionChange()
MsgBox myOlExp.Selection.Count & " items selected."
End Sub
