#Outlook 2016 reminders will not dismiss update

The FindReminderWindow function takes a value which is the number of iterations to step through to find the window. This now works for me in 2013 and should work for versions below 2013. I have now updated it with a further function (FindReminderWindow) that looks for a range of popup reminder captions.

#Outlook 2016 reminders will not dismiss update

UPDATE 2 (Sep 4, 2015): Having transitioned to Outlook 2013 - this code stopped working for me. It's a massive hassle as you're writing an e-mail.ДЄs such I upgraded the code so that the timer only runs every 60 seconds then upon finding the first active reminder, the timer is stopped and the secondary event function is then used forthwith to activate the window focus change. UPDATE (Feb 12, 2015): after using this for a while I found a real annoyance with the fact that triggering the timer removes the focus from the current window. So that's it every 5 seconds, the timer checks whether a window with a caption '1 Reminder' exists then bumps it to the top. If ReminderWindowHWnd 0 Then SetWindowPos ReminderWindowHWnd, _ ReminderWindowHWnd = FindWindowA(vbNullString, '1 Reminder') Public Sub TriggerTimer(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uMsg As Long, _Д«yVal idevent As Long, ByVal Systime As Long) If TimerID = 0 Then MsgBox 'The timer failed to activate.'

TimerID = SetTimer(0, 0, nSeconds, AddressOf TriggerTimer) 'Check to see if timer is running before call to SetTimer 'The SetTimer call accepts milliseconds, so convert from seconds Public Sub ActivateTimer(ByVal nSeconds As Long) ' If the timer ID 0 then the timer is running Public TimerID As Long 'Need a timer ID to eventually turn off the timer.

To get around this, I looked to employ a timer to periodically test if the window was present and if it was, then bring it to the front. based on the code I assumed this was because the window wasn't detected until it had instantiated once However as noted in the comments, the first reminder failed to popup while further reminders then did. * For the latest macro please see update 3 *ДЄfter searching for a while I found a partial answer on a website that seemed to give me the majority of the solution
