Dim fromLayer As FeatureLayer Dim filter As Filter Dim buffer As Buffer Dim id As String   Dim instance As FeatureLayer(fromLayer, filter, buffer, id)

Parameters

fromLayer

FeatureLayer from which to copy fields.

filter

New Filter of the constructed FeatureLayer.

buffer

New Buffer of the constructed FeatureLayer.

id

ID of the constructed FeatureLayer. This value must be unique if the constructed layer is to be added to a LayerCollection.

This method creates a new FeatureLayer with a buffer around selected features. The buffer can be either a DisplayBuffer or a SelectionBuffer. A DisplayBuffer is used to show a buffer surrounding selected features on a map image. A SelectionBuffer is used to retrieve information about features in the same layer or another layer that are within the buffer. It is not used to display the buffer.

When using a DisplayBuffer for the buffer, this method produces the same result as CreateBufferLayer. When using a SelectionBuffer, the result is the same as with CreateBufferSelectionLayer Method. See those methods for additional information and examples.

The layer ID can be any combination of alpha and numeric characters.
