Required/Optional

Data Type

Description

Group

Required

OutlookBarGroup

The OutlookBarGroup that is being removed.

Cancel

Required

Boolean

False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the group is not removed from the Shortcuts pane.

Remarks

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

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example prevents the user from removing a group from the Shortcuts pane. The sample code must be placed in a class module such as ThisOutlookSession, and the Initialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Outlook. You will still be prompted when you try to delete a shortcut. However, the group will not be deleted even if you clicked Yes.

Dim WithEvents myOlGroups As Outlook.OutlookBarGroups 
Dim myOlBar As Outlook.OutlookBarPane 
 
Sub Initialize_handler() 
 Set myOlBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.item("OutlookBar") 
 Set myOlGroups = myOlBar.Contents.Groups 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub myOlGroups_BeforeGroupRemove(ByVal Group As OutlookBarGroup, Cancel As Boolean) 
 Cancel = True 
End Sub
