Return the date and hours currently selected in the calender

I would like to make a customized from for new journal items.

The idea is that i would like to select a certain date in a calender
view and pick a number of hours and then right click to create the new
journalitem, where the date and hours of the new journalitem is the
ones that I pick out before.

However getting a hold of the currently selected date and hours is
last outstanding issue I have before the solution is finished.

But looking into this newsgroup, I looks like this is impossible.
Because I have seen several posting from the last couple of years that
have asked a similar question and always with the same answer - it
can't be done.

Is that really the case ?

If this is the case - can anyone answer me how the date and hours you
selected in the calender is transfered to a new appointment ?
Why can't this be done in VBA code ?

I know that it is a lot of questions

Happy new year

It can't be done as far as I know. What Outlook can do internally has
nothing to do with what is exposed for the programmer of Outlook. You have
to just accept the fact that Outlook can do it and as a programmer you
can't.
