Remarks
The Activate event is raised when the current View control becomes the active view. This occurs when the value of the ActiveViewIndex property changes or the SetActiveView method is called to specify a different View control. For example, if View1 is the active view within a MultiView control, when the ActiveViewIndex property changes to specify View2, the Activate event is raised for View2 and the Deactivate event is raised for View1.
