Constructor Detail

SelectionSet

public SelectionSet(Object obj)
             throws IOException

Construct a SelectionSet using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to SelectionSet.
Casting to this class from the return value of a method will not work, as this class represents an abstract class in ArcObjects.
*
SelectionSet o = (SelectionSet)obj; // will not work

SelectionSet o = new SelectionSet(obj); // Use this constructor instead
* @param obj an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems SelectionSet theSelectionSet = (SelectionSet) obj;

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

addList in interface ISelectionSet

Parameters:

count - The count (in)

combine

public void combine(ISelectionSet otherSet,

                    AutomationException

Combines this selection set with another selection set using the specified set operation.

Remarks

Used to combine to SelectionSets. The resultSet parameter must be a third selection set and not any of the ones that are combined. For example, if you want to combine A and B and put the result in A, you must combine A and B into C, and then set A to C.

To combine two selection sets, the sets must be derived from the same table or feature class. Attempting to combine selection sets from different datasets will raise an error.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

combine in interface ISelectionSet

Parameters:

otherSet - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ISelectionSet (in)

setOp - A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriSetOperation constant (in)

resultSet - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ISelectionSet (out: use single element array)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

search

public void search(IQueryFilter queryFilter,
                   boolean recycling,
                   ICursor[] cursor)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Returns a cursor that can be used to retrieve the objects specified by a query over this selection set.

Remarks

Search will return an ICursor with all of the rows that satisfy the constraints specified by a query filter. If a null value is provided for the QueryFilter parameter, the cursor will contain all of the selection set's rows.

The Recycling parameter controls row object allocation behavior.

Recycling cursors rehydrate a single feature/row object on each fetch and can be used to optimize read-only access, for example, when drawing. It is illegal to maintain a reference on a feature/row object returned by a recycling cursor across multiple calls to NextRow on the cursor. Feature/Row objects returned by a recycling cursor should not be modified. Non-recycling cursors return a separate object on each fetch.

The features/rows returned by a non-recycling cursor may be modified and stored with polymorphic behavior. The geodatabase guarantees "unique instance semantics" on non-recycling feature/row objects fetched during an edit session. If the object to be retrieved by a call to search has already been instantiated and is being referenced by the calling application, then a reference to the existing row object is returned.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

search in interface ISelectionSet

Parameters:

queryFilter - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IQueryFilter (in)

recycling - The recycling (in)

cursor - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ICursor (out: use single element array)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

select

public ISelectionSet select(IQueryFilter queryFilter,
                            int selType,
                            int selOption,
                            IWorkspace selectionContainer)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Returns a new selection That contains the object ids selected by a query over this selection set.

Description

Select will return a new selection set. This subset of the original selection set will contain all of the rows that satisfy the attribute and/or spatial constraints as specified by the IQueryFilter object. If a null value is passed as the QueryFilter parameter, the new selection set will contain all of the rows from the original selection set.

When calling Select, the selectionContainer parameter is no longer needed; a null value can be provided.

update

public void update(IQueryFilter queryFilter,
                   boolean recycling,
                   ICursor[] cursor)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Returns a cursor that can be used to update the objects specified by a query over this selection set.

Description

The Update method returns an 'update' cursor that can be used to update or delete rows. It offers somewhat faster performance than multiple calls to Store or Delete on row objects fetched using a non-recycling search cursor for tables storing simple rows and simple features. There is no difference in performance for custom features.

Remarks

All edits to features that participate in a Topology or Geometric Network must be bracketed within an edit operation.
