How can I switch to/from "Focus Mode" with VBA?

Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "ViewFocusModeView" was the ticket, thanks Guessed. That is an easy way to toggle Focus Mode.

Now wondering if I can detect which mode I am in (in order to display Nav Pane, change Page Color, etc., based on mode)

I know I can do something like this for Print View:

Code:

test1 = ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView

But I have not yet found a similar technique for determining Focus Mode.

The use of ExecuteMso implies there is no object for it?

This method is useful in cases where there is no object model for a particular command.
