Ok...

The more I dig into this the more odd things react.

It appears as if the Send button on a Meeting/Appointment request fires off
a Send Event for every recipient on the appointment.

which after thinking about it, makes sense. However, how do I get my
UserDefined variables passed into the new appointment object for each
recipient?

This is a .Net C# solution.

What I"m doing so far.

On the FormRegionShowing method I added hooked a method to the current
application object.

_appt.Application.ItemSend += new
Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_ItemSendEventHandler( Application_ItemSend)

Then in the method the handler references I test on a local variable

if (!_Qualified)
e.Cancel;


where _Qualified is a boolean value, that is set based on other criteria on
the form.

This feels like the correct implementation, but isn't reacting the right way.

Another issue with this event....

If a user is attempting to cancel the request and a required value is not
set, then the send event is never executed.

Thanks.

Actually I was able to get the Application object from the AppointmentItem
and add a handler on the ItemSend event, which is exactly what I was looking
for.

One caveat with this though, it seems to reload the send event when a
messagebox is shown, to notify the user as to why the request can't be sent.

That's because there isn't such an event. However, the item.Send() event
does have a Cancel argument. Set that to True and that will cancel the send.

How would one prevent sending of an appontment object if all of the
required
fields haven't been completed? I cant seem to find a before send event to
trap on.

Thanks.
