BeforeNavigate Event Example

This example prevents the user from using the Outlook Bar to open the Notes folder. 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.

Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Public WithEvents myOlPane As Outlook.OutlookBarPane

Public Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlPane = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
End Sub
Private Sub myOlPane_BeforeNavigate(ByVal Shortcut As Outlook.OutlookBarShortcut, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Shortcut.Name = "Notes" Then
        MsgBox "You cannot view the Notes folder."
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub
