Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
NI-DAQ does ship with a small ActiveX controller that has a limited number of methods and properties that can be used. Unfortunately, the MAX Viewer was designed for internal use, by NI products, only. Because of this, this control is not advertised to customers as an extra feature and is not officially supported; therefore, there is no documentation to help clarify the ShowViewbyViewID or ShowView methods.
If there is a particular application that you need it for or a specific action you are trying to accomplish then feel free to let us know and we will see if there is another option available to us.

Michael H
