Class Explorers (Outlook VBA)

Contains a set of Explorer objects representing all explorers. To use a Explorers class variable it first needs to be instantiated, for example

Dim exps as Explorers
Set exps = Explorers

For Each

Here is an example of processing the Explorers items in a collection.

Dim exp As Explorer
For Each exp In Explorers
	
Next exp

Add

Creates a new instance of the explorer window.

The Folder argument can represent either a Folder object or the URL to that folder. The explorer window is initially hidden. You must call the Display method of the Explorer object to make it visible.
