SharingItem object (Outlook)

  • Article

Represents a sharing message in an Inbox folder.

Remarks

Use the CreateSharingItem method of the NameSpace object to create a SharingItem object that represents a new sharing request or sharing invitation.

Use Item (index), where index is the index number of a sharing message or a value used to match the default property of a message, to return a single SharingItem object from an Inbox folder.

Example

The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates and displays a new sharing invitation for the Tasks folder.

Public Sub CreateTasksSharingItem() 
 On Error GoTo ErrRoutine 
 
 Dim mapiNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 
 Set mapiNamespace = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
 
 Dim tasksFolder As Outlook.Folder 
 Set tasksFolder = mapiNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.olFolderTasks) 
 
 Dim invitation As Outlook.SharingItem  
 Set invitation = appNamespace.CreateSharingItem(tasksFolder) 
 
 invitation.Display 
  
EndRoutine:  
 Exit Sub 
  
ErrRoutine: 
 MsgBox Err.Description, vbOKOnly, Err.Number & " - " & Err.Source  
 Resume EndRoutine 
 
End Sub
