Remarks

The GlobeGraphicsLayer, the equivalent of the GraphicsLayer3D object for ArcScene, is the object to use for creating graphics layers in ArcGlobe.  Similar to that for the Scene object, a basic (hidden) graphics layer is automatically added to the Globe object.

 

Developers can add additional globe graphics layers to a globe object in an application or a globe control through customization via ArcObjects.  As with ArcGIS 9.2, globe graphics layers can only be added or managed via ArcObjects; there is not user interface yet to manually create one the ArcGlobe application program.  When a globe graphics layer is added by customization (see the following sample code), it needs to be specified as the active graphics layer (via IScene.ActiveGraphicsLayer property) before it can be selected by the Select Graphics tool on the user interface.

Working with Events

[Visual Basic 6.0]

When working with GlobeGraphicsLayer's default outbound interface in Visual Basic 6 declare variables as follows:
