|---|---|---|---|
LookInFolders |
Required |
String |
The path name of the folders that the search will search through. You must enclose the folder path with single quotes. |
Return Value
True if the search is synchronous; otherwise, False.
Remarks
If the search is synchronous, the AdvancedSearch method will not return until the search has completed. Conversely, if the search is asynchronous, the AdvancedSearch method will immediately return. In order to get meaningful results from an asynchronous search, use the AdvancedSearchComplete event to notify you when the search has finished.
Example

Dim folderPath As String
Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
For Each oStore In Outlook.Session.Stores
folderPath = "'" & oStore.GetRootFolder.folderPath & "'"
Debug.Print folderPath & " IsSearchSynchronous = " & _
Application.IsSearchSynchronous(folderPath)
