ITimeData Interface

Provides access to time related properties of a layer.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

The ITimeData interface is implemented by all layers that can display time-related data or respond to time-related queries.  However, for a layer to properly support time, it must be configured by a user with information from the ITimeDataDisplay interface.  Once this information has been configured, the UseTime property in this interface is set to true, indicating that the layer not only has the ability to display time-related data, but also has all of the information (meta-data) it needs to display time-related data.
