Determine current view of Outlook explorer.

Hello!

My add-in should change its location depending the reading pane's visibility, but on the Mails view only.
Is there a way to determine the current view of Outlook explorer ("Mails", "Calendar", "People" etc.)?

Thanks.

Hello Andriy,

If you talk about the current Navigation module, get Explorer.NavigationPane.CurrentModule and check NavigationModule.NavigationModuleType.

If however you talk about the current folder being an email folder, get Explorer.CurrentFolder: MAPIFolder.DefaultItemType returns OlItemType.olMailItem for email folders.

NavigationModuleType is exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks a lot for your help!
