Remarks

VisibleBounds controls the visible extent of the display. By setting this property to different extents, you will get zoom in / zoom out effects. The VisibleBounds must fit within the current Bounds.

IActiveView::Extent really stores its value in this property. In data view, the Extent (VisibleBounds) is modified whenever the spatial reference changes. Also, the Extent is set the first time a layer is added to the Map. In layout view, the Extent is initially set to the page size. In both views, zooming in or out changes the Extent. The Extent is persisted in map documents.

When the VisibleBounds is set, it is always adjusted to match the aspect ratio the DeviceFrame and this is stored as the FittedBounds.

Setting the Visible Bounds also fires the ITransformEvents::BoundsUpdated and ITransformEvents::VisibleBoundsUpdated events to notify any clients that the bounds have changed.
