Trapping open mail item event

Hi

I am new to creating ol2003 add-in using vb2008. Is there a code example of
how to trap event when user opens a mail item in OL so I can choose to either
allow user opening of the item or give other options as appropriate?

Many Thanks

Regards

That would be handling the NewInspector() event of the Inspectors
collection. If you handle that and then set up an event handler for the
Open() event on the item (Inspector.CurrentItem) you can also handle the
item.Open() event.

It's hard to recommend any specific code example since you never mentioned
what language you're using, or whether it's a shared addin or a VSTO addin,
but take a look at the addin information at www.outlookcode.com and you'll
find examples for all those variations.
