AccountSelector.SelectedAccount Property (Outlook)

Returns an Account object that represents the selected account in the Microsoft Office Backstage view in Microsoft Outlook. Read-only.

Version Information

Version Added: Outlook 2010

Syntax

expression .SelectedAccount

expression A variable that represents an AccountSelector object.

Remarks

In the Outlook user interface, you can select an account explicitly on the Info tab of the Backstage view, or you can select an account implicitly when you select a folder in a list of folders. The SelectedAccount property represents the currently selected account in the Backstage view for a given instance of the Explorer object. To determine the account that is selected implicitly, identify the Account object that has its DefaultStore property equal to the Store property of the current folder (which is represented by Explorer.CurrentFolder).

This property returns Null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no accounts are defined in the session's profile; that is, the Namespace.Accounts.Count property is 0.
