Get Active Visual Style and store in a Variable

[J.VandeMerckt]

Hi Everyone.

I'm trying to retrieve the active visual style and store it in a variable for later use in my code.
Right now I can only change the visual style to chosen style.

Dim oView As Inventor.View = ThisApplication.ActiveView
oView.DisplayMode = DisplayModeEnum.kRealisticRendering

The idea is to change the visual style, then render and then revert the visual style back to the original one.
All help is welcome!

Hi @J.VandeMerckt . The View.DisplayMode function has a Gets/Sets property, so your code can get the active view. Here is an example:

Dim oView As Inventor.View = ThisApplication.ActiveView
Dim oActView As DisplayModeEnum = oView.DisplayMode
MessageBox.Show(oActView.ToString(), "Active Visual Style:")

This seems to be true.
Thanks!
