```C#
RadPageViewStripElement stripElement = (RadPageViewStripElement)this.radPageView1.ViewElement;
stripElement.StripButtons = StripViewButtons.All;

```

```VB.NET
Dim stripElement As RadPageViewStripElement = DirectCast(Me.radPageView1.ViewElement, RadPageViewStripElement)
stripElement.StripButtons = StripViewButtons.All

```
