ArcObjects Library Reference (Carto)  

IAnnotateLayerProperties Interface

Provides access to members that work with the display of dynamic labels (text) for a feature layer.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

When To Use

The IAnnotateLayerProperties interface maintains the labeling properties for a feature layer. You can use this interface to define the display of dynamic labels (text) along features.

CoClasses that implement IAnnotateLayerProperties

CoClasses and Classes Description
LabelEngineLayerProperties A container for the properties of feature labels.
MaplexLabelEngineLayerProperties Properties that specify the labeling of a layer and conversion of labels to annotation.

Remarks

Each FeatureLayer can have one or more LabelEngineLayerProperties associated with it. These are exposed in the ArcMap user interface as label classes and a reference to these properties can be obtained from the IAnnotateLayerPropertiesCollection interface.  IAnnotateLayerProperties is used to access and modify the labeling properties of a label class of a FeatureLayer.
