ISubtypes Interface

Provides access to members that return and modify subtype information.

Product Availability

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

Description

ISubtypes interface is implemented by the ObjectClass class and is used to maintain information about subtypes for the object class. Subtypes can be removed, added, and retrieved using this interface. Default subtypes and subtypecodes can be set for the object class here as well.

When To Use

The ISubtypes interface is the main interface for managing the subtypes, default values and attribute domains of an object class. For example, use the ISubtypes interface to create new subtypes, delete subtypes and assign an attribute domain for a particular field of a subtype. ISubtypes is an interface implemented by the ObjectClass class.
