Remarks

A FeatureLayer is a layer based on vector geographic data which is typically a geodatabase, coverage, or shapefile feature class.

Working with Events

[Visual Basic 6.0]

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

Private WithEvents pFeatureLayer as FeatureLayer

When implementing IFeatureLayerSelectionEvents declare variables as follows:

Private WithEvents pFeatureLayerSelectionEvents as FeatureLayerSelectionEvents

When implementing IDefinitionExpressionEvents declare variables as follows:

Private WithEvents pBarrierCollection as BarrierCollection
