Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example confirms that the user wants to switch views and cancels the switch if the user answers No. 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 myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Public Sub Initialize_handler()
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
End Sub
Private Sub myOlExp_BeforeViewSwitch(ByVal NewView As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Prompt As String
Prompt = "Are you sure you want to switch to the " & NewView & " view?"
If MsgBox(Prompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then Cancel = True
End Sub
