aprx.activeView (MapView or Layout)

cwh

I'm stumped. The following documentation says activeView will return the active MapView or Layout. I've searched high and low trying to find code to use which will tell me If the "active view" is a map or a layout but am having zero luck.

Any insight appreciated.

Thanks!

Just check the type of the object or class inheritance:

<SPAN class="operator token">>></SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN> type<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>activeView<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN><SPAN class="keyword token">class</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'arcpy._mp.Layout'</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN>
<SPAN class="operator token">>></SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN> isinstance<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>activeView<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>_mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Layout<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="token boolean">True</SPAN>
<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
