Interface IIdentifyObj

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

FeatureIdentifyObject, GlobeServerIdentifyObject, IIdentifyObjProxy, MapServerIdentifyObject, RasterIdentifyObj, RowIdentifyObject, SearchResultsIdentifyObj, SimpleIdentifyObject, SimpleMapServerIdentifyObject, SimpleRasterIdentifyObj, SimpleTinIdentifyObj, SimpleWMSIdentifyObject, WMSIdentifyObject

public interface IIdentifyObj
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control feature identification for a layer.

Remarks

When used on a map layer, the IIdentify::Identify method returns an array of FeatureIdentifyObject objects. On a FeatureIdentifyObject, you can do a QI to this IIdentifyObj interface to get more information about the identified feature. The IIdentifyObj interface returns the window handle, layer, and name of the feature; it has methods to flash the feature in the display and to display a context menu at the Identify location.

The Flash method is not supported with ArcGIS Engine, use the IHookActions.DoActions() method with the esriHookActionsFlash for this functionality.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux
