FormatList

public interface IFormatList
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that contain information about all raster formats currently supported.

When To Use

The FormatList object contains information about all available raster formats. It can be used to access this information or to check if a particular file is a raster and determine its format.

This object will provide information about all native formats and any formats that have been added to ArcMap by external developers. Formats that have multiple possible file extensions may appear more than once in this list.

Product Availability

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

Method Summary

int	getCount() Total number of formats.
int	getCurrentRecord() Index of currently accessed format information.
IFormatData	item(int index) Returns format information for a given index.
void	setCurrentRecord(int pVal) Index of currently accessed format information.
