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.
