Catching removal of recurrence occurence in explorer

[Georg Fritzsche]

Hi,

when removing recurrence occurences from the explorer (calendar view)
neither BeforeDelete() nor PropertyChange() seem to be thrown.
Is there any known workaround?

Thanks,
Georg

Sorry, forgot to mention:
* Its of course an Outlook issue
* Currently focused on testing with OL2003
* Removing recurrence series and non-recurring appointments throws the
events as expected

Regards,
Georg

BeforeDelete only fires from within an Inspector, and it only fires if the
item is deleted from the File menu in the open Inspector.

About the only way I know to do that is to check the Exceptions collection
before and after, say when selection changes.

I am getting BeforeDelete() just fine (Ol2003-2007) for all
appointment types but recurrence occurences - the only other exception
is that when pressing 'delete' on the keyboard the event is not fired.
But it seems i will probably have to rely only on selection changes
then.

If i am not overlooking anything obvious it will complicate things
considerably then as on selection change i will have to serialize the
recurrence information of the parent appointment of the last selected
item somehow to a comparable format (i.e. text) and compare with the
last serialized recurrence info on selection change. Ouch.

Thanks,
Georg
