Explorers.NewExplorer Event

Office 2007

Occurs whenever a new explorer window is opened, either as a result of user action or through program code.

Syntax

expression.NewExplorer(Explorer)

expression A variable that represents an Explorers object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data Type	Description
Explorer	Required	Explorer	The explorer that was opened.

Remarks

This event is not available in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

The event occurs after the new Explorer object is created but before the explorer window appears.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example minimizes the currently active explorer window when a new explorer is about to appear. 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.

Public WithEvents myOlExplorers As Outlook.Explorers

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlExplorers = Application.Explorers
End Sub

Private Sub myOlExplorers_NewExplorer(ByVal Explorer As Outlook.Explorer)
    If TypeName(Application.ActiveExplorer) <> "Nothing" Then
        Application.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMinimized
