Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic/Visual Basic for Applications example displays a message listing the groups in the Outlook Bar.

Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myOlBar As Outlook.OutlookBarPane
Dim myOlGroups As Outlook.OutlookBarGroups
myMsg = "The groups in the Outlook Bar are:"
Set myOlBar = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
Set myOlGroups = myOlBar.Contents.Groups
For x = 1 To myOlGroups.Count
    myMsg = myMsg & Chr(13) & myOlGroups.Item(x)
Next x
MsgBox myMsg

If you use VBScript, you do not create the Application object. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript.

myMsg = "The groups in the Outlook Bar are:"
Set myOlBar = Application.ActiveExplorer.Panes.Item("OutlookBar")
Set myOlGroups = myOlBar.Contents.Groups
For x = 1 To myOlGroups.Count
    myMsg = myMsg & Chr(13) & myOlGroups.Item(x)
Next 
MsgBox myMsg
