Userform Positioning in Outlook

Question

I've found quite a few tutorials on how to position userforms that you create in Excel:

• Mr Excel

• Tom's Tutorials

• XTreme VB

And even this StackOverflow question which uses the same method.

The problem is that Outlook appears to use different notation for it's own position - there is no such thing as:

Application.Left or Application.Width 
Application.Top or Application.Height

Does anyone know the Outlook equivalent?

Answer 1

Outlook can have multiple windows - Explorers (where you see the list of messages) and inspectors (where you use the details of a single message).

Both Explorer and Inspector objects expose Width, Height, Left, Top properties. Outlook windows are exposed through

• Application.ActiveWindow (either Explorer or Inspector)
• Application.ActiveExplorer
• Application.ActiveInspector
• Application.Inspectors/Explorers collections.
