Hi,

From an vb.net-outlook-add-in ... how do I catch an event telling when
an appointment has been saved?

Thanks!!

Hello M O J O,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to know how to
capture the Save event of an Outlook.AppointmentItem object. If I'm off
base, please feel free to let me know.

To capture the Save event of an Outlook.AppointmentItem object, we need to
register the Outlook.Appointment.Write event. According to the MSDN article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ffice.11).aspx and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb175138.aspx
The Write event occurs when an appointment is saved, either explicitly (for
example, using the Save or SaveAs method) or implicitly (for example, in
response to a prompt when closing the item's inspector).

Below is my test code of the event with VB.NET:

Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

Public Class Form1

Public WithEvents appointment As Outlook.AppointmentItem

Private Sub appointment_Write(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles
appointment.Write
MessageBox.Show("write")
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim appItem As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.Application()
appointment =
appItem.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olAppointmen tItem)
appointment.Subject = "test"
appointment.Body = "test"
appointment.Save()
End Sub
End Class

The appointment object registers the Write event and show a message box
"write" when the appointment is saved (appointment.Save())

Please have a try and let me know the result. If you have any other concern
or need anything else, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Jialiang,

Once again you come to my rescue ... and THANKS!!!!

Here's my solution....

Private Sub OnNewInspector(ByVal inspector As Outlook.Inspector)
If TypeOf (inspector.CurrentItem) Is Outlook.AppointmentItem Then
AddHandler CType(inspector.CurrentItem,
Outlook.AppointmentItem).write, AddressOf _appItem_Write
End If
End Sub

Private Sub appointmentItem_Write(ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
Dim app As Outlook.AppointmentItem =
CType(Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem, Outlook.AppointmentItem)
' Do something with app!
MsgBox("YEHA")
End Sub


THANKS!!!!
