CoClasses that implement IPageLayout

Remarks

The IPageLayout interface is the primary interface implemented by the ArcMap PageLayout object.

The PageLayout object is very similar to the Map object. Both are views, meaning they take control of the main application window; both are also graphics containers, meaning they can store graphical elements. If there is no map activated in layout view (IMxDocument::ActivatedView), all new graphic elements are added to the PageLayout. If a Map is activated, graphic elements are added to the focus map (IMxDocument::FocusMap).

Use this interface to access the RulerSettings, the SnapGrid, the SnapGuides, and the Page objects created and maintained by the PageLayout.

IPageLayout also has methods for zooming the view and changing the focus map.

See also the help for IPage, IRulerSettings, ISnapGrid, ISnapGuides and the examples in the Carto library overview.
