Some McDisplay properties are mirrored into McView and should only be set by assigning to the McView properties of the same name. These are: ImageToDisplay, FrameToDisplay, Pan, Scroll, Magnification, AutoZoomMode and TrackActiveFrame. An attempt to assign to the McView.Display version of a mirrored property may succeed; if the assignment succeeds then the mirrored McView property will also have been changed. In any case, the _IMcViewEvents.PropertyChanged and _IMcBasicViewEvents.PropertyChanged notification's mcViewPropertyDispID lPropertyDispID argument will be one of the ID_MV_.. ID's, not the corresponding ID_McDisplay_ ID (e.g., it will be ID_MV_AutoZoomMode, not ID_McDisplay_AutoZoomMode).
Furthermore size-related McDisplay properties are under the control of the McView, and making direct assignments to them is illegal. These are: DisplayOriginLeft and DisplayOriginTop, which are always zero for the McView.Display object, and DisplayedWidth and DisplayedHeight, which can only be set by calling the McView SetClientWindowSize method.
