Hi,

I'm trying to detect if the user had clicked the root folder

Outlook._Explorer explorer1 = OutlookHost().ActiveExplorer();
Outlook.MAPIFolder folder = explorer1.CurrentFolder;
Outlook.MAPIFolder parent = folder.Parent as Outlook.MAPIFolder;

i tried

if(parent == null)
MessageBox.show("this is root folder");

doesn't show the message, it means its not null. Anyone know a better way to know if it is a root folder or not?

thanks a lot

Hi Rup.

If the parent is not 'null', that means you get another folder and you just need to cast the parent to the MAPIFolder interface and check the parent again until you get the 'null' value.
