ActiveView [out, retval]

  ActiveView is a parameter of type IActiveView

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Description

This is the ActiveView on the PageLayout CoClass contained within the PageLayoutControl.

Remarks

When the PageLayoutControl is added to a container the PageLayout's element selection, IActiveView::Selection, is Nothing. This causes the esriViewGraphicSelection draw phase to ignore any selected graphics. To resolve this, set the IActiveView::Selection property to the IViewManager::ElementSelection property. This will result in the MapFrame element becoming selected.

The IActiveView::ShowRuler property will not display any rulers on the PageLayout because the PageLayoutControl does not itself manage rulers. An application must draw its own rulers.
