View.Type Property 

Returns or sets the view type.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in microsoft.office.interop.word.dll)

Usage

Dim view1 As View

Dim returnValue As WdViewType
returnValue = view1.Type

Dim sampleValue As WdViewType
view1.Type = sampleValue

Syntax

Property Type() As WdViewType
WdViewType Type {get; set;}
property WdViewType^ Type{
    WdViewType^ get();
    Void set(WdViewType^);
}
public WdViewType get_Type();
public void set_Type(WdViewType);
function get Type() : WdViewType;
function set Type(WdViewType);

Remarks

WdViewType can be one of these WdViewType constants:

wdMasterView

wdOutlineView

wdPrintView

wdNormalView

wdPrintPreview

wdWebView

wdReadingView

The Type property returns wdMasterView for all documents where the current view is an outline or a master document. The current view will never return wdOutlineView unless explicitly set first in code.

To check whether the current document is an outline, use the Type property and the Subdocuments collection's Count property. If the Type property returns either wdOutlineView or wdMasterView and the Count property returns zero, the document is an outline.
