Hello Nick!
As I know it is not possible to script the object orientated new VIEW interface out of AUT scripts.
A solution to your problem might be to insert the VBS Code inline in your AUT. This is possible with the command 'ScriptStatement'.
E.g. ScriptStatement('MsgBox(now)') will show a VBS MessageBox with the current time. You can insert your VIEW manipulating script line by line in your AUT with this command. Not really good to read but I think it will work.
Hint: The strings have to be enclosed in ' because in the VBS code you must use "!
