Hi

I am trying to write an add-in in vs2008 for OL2003. Is there a way to trap

the item open event i.e. when a mail item is opened by user? This is to give

user choice of either opening the mail item as normal or allow the add-in to

do something else to the email?

Thanks

Regards
 
Hi John,

You can achieve this by handling Application.ItemLoad event,

in this you can look for MailItem as an Objet type, if it is then handle

MailItem's Open event.

Thanks,

Ashutosh

Look at the Application.Inspectors.NewInspector event. It will not let you

cancel the action.

You can also trap the MailItem.Open event (which is canceable), but that

means that you will need to set an an event handler on each selected

messages and track the selection by using the Explorer.SelectionChange

event.
