Set
'Usage

[DispIdAttribute()]
Object CurrentView { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Object
Remarks
To obtain a View object for the view of the current Explorer, use Explorer.CurrentView instead of the CurrentView property of the current Folder object returned by _Explorer.CurrentFolder.
You must save a reference to the View object returned by CurrentView before you proceed to use it for any purpose.
To properly reset the current view, you must do a View.Reset and then a View.Apply. The code sample below illustrates the order of the calls:
Sub ResetView()
Dim v as Outlook.View
' Save a reference to the current view object
Set v = Application.ActiveExplorer().CurrentView
' Reset and then apply the current view
v.Reset
v.Apply
End Sub
private void ResetView()
{
// Save a reference to the current view object
Outlook.View v = Application.ActiveExplorer().CurrentView
as Outlook.View;
// Reset and then apply the current view
v.Reset();
v.Apply();
}
When this property is set, two events occur: BeforeViewSwitch occurs before the actual view change takes place and can be used to cancel the change and ViewSwitch takes place after the change is effective.
