Map specifies an IMap object.

Layer specifies an ILayer object.

Unk specifies an ILegendGroup object.

Data specifies a long indicating the index of the legend class within the legend group. Use this index in conjunction with the legend group to obtain a particular legend class. An index of -1 refers to the heading if it is present.

ILayer layer = null;
Object other = null;
Object index = null;
esriTOCControlItem item = esriTOCControlItem.esriTOCControlItemNone;

Dim pLayer As ILayer = Nothing
