The ActiveViewType property specifies the current RichEditControl view. Use the RichEditControl.ActiveView property to access the current view and change its options (zoom factor, background color, etc.)
This example demonstrates how to change the RichEditControl View using the RichEditControl.ActiveViewType property.
// Switch the RichEdit to the Draft mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.Draft;
// Switch the RichEdit to the Simple mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.Simple;
// Switch the RichEdit to the Print Layout mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.PrintLayout;
' Switch the RichEdit to the Draft mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.Draft
' Switch the RichEdit to the Simple mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.Simple
' Switch the RichEdit to the Print Layout mode.
richEditControl.ActiveViewType = RichEditViewType.PrintLayout
