Remarks
A FeatureLayer is a layer based on vector geographic data which is typically a geodatabase, coverage, or shapefile feature class.
Working with Events
[Visual Basic 6.0]
When working with FeatureLayer's default outbound interface in Visual Basic 6 declare variables as follows: Private WithEvents pFeatureLayer as FeatureLayer
When implementing IFeatureLayerSelectionEvents declare variables as follows:Private WithEvents pFeatureLayerSelectionEvents as FeatureLayerSelectionEvents
When implementing IDefinitionExpressionEvents declare variables as follows:Private WithEvents pRasterRendererMakerDefault as RasterRendererMakerDefault
