Description
The IARConfiguration interface is a starting point for accessing and updating configuration settings and loading configuration files into the ArcReaderControl or ArcReaderGlobeControl.
Members

CoClasses that implement IARConfiguration
| CoClasses and Classes | Description |
|---|---|
| ArcReaderConfiguration | ArcReaderConfiguration contains settings affecting the appearance and behaviour of the control. |
Remarks
The ArcReaderControl will initially look for an ArcReader Template file (*.art) in a users local profile and then in the arcgis\bin\templates directory. If no template file is found a default configuration file will be created containing default settings.
Changing any of the configuration settings will not persist them. They configuration file will need to be reloaded into the ArcReaderControl.
The table below lists each ArcReaderControl default settings name and value, together with a setting description and cached state. Those settings that are cached are safe to use as the ArcReaderControl will always read them from the ARConfiguration. Those settings that are not cached are not safe to use as they can change throughout the life time of an application.
