Hi,
I use this code in a ribbon button to cancel my changes. it works well but if the message is open it closes the window.
how to cancel changes without the message window closing 



//...
        try
          sel := OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection;
          except
        end;

        if sel <> nil then
        begin
          Item := sel.Item(1);

          Item.QueryInterface(IID__MailItem, IMail);
          if IMail <> nil then
            begin
             IMail.Close(olDiscard);

             IMail := nil;
             Item  := nil;
            end;
         end;


//...

Hello Karim,

Your code closes the mail item discarding all changes. There's no way to leave the inspector window open after executing that code line.

Hello Andrei,
thanks for the answer. I have another question, I did several tests and it is not possible to make a memory copy of an email make a modification of this email without changing the original. is this normal? Is there a way to work only on the copy without altering the original ?

Karim,

To create a copy of an email, call MailItem.Copy(). Note that this call creates another email; the latter is visible in Explorer windows.

I tested this method, but I do not want it to be visible in Explorer windows.

The Outlook object model doesn't provide a way to bypass this issue.
