Remarks

This property is widely used during invalidation (refresh) operations.  For example, IScreenDisplay::Invalidate requires a cacheIndex.  Use this property to get the cacheIndex for the desired draw phase you wish to refresh.  The valid draw phases are held in the esriViewDrawPhase enumeration.

Use the data parameter to invalidate just a specific piece of data.  For example, if a layer is loaded and its cache property is set to TRUE, this layer alone can be invalidated.  A tracking layer is a good example of this.
