The full extent of the view. In ArcMap's data view, the full extent is the full extent of all layers and it is automatically calculated whenever the spatial reference changes and when layers are added or removed with AddLayer, AddLayers, or DeleteLayer. In layout view, the full extent is the page size expanded some and it is automatically set whenever the page size changes.

This property is a shortcut to the bounds of the ActiveView's ScreenDisplay (accessed via IDisplayTransformation::Bounds) .
