Using the IEnumVertex methods
- Create a multipart polyline and cast into IPointCollection.
- Get the vertex enumerator of the point collection.
- Enumerate through each vertex by calling the Next and QueryNext methods.
- Call different methods, such as Previous, QueryPrevious, SetAt, ResetToEnd, and so on for the enumeration.
- Call Put_ID, Put_Z, Put_M, Put_X, and Put_Y to work on the current vertex.
The following code example shows how to use the IEnumVertex methods:
[C#] public void IEnumVertexExample()
{
//Get a polyline object created in CreateMultipartPolyline
//and cast to IPointCollection.
IPointCollection pointCollection=CreateMultipartPolyline()as IPointCollection;
//Get the vertex enumerator.
IEnumVertex2 enumVertex=pointCollection.EnumVertices as IEnumVertex2;
//Create a point object for the Query methods.
//The point doesn't need to be created each time.
IPoint queryVertex=new PointClass();
//Reset the enum.
enumVertex.Reset();
//Get the next vertex.

//Query the next vertex - have to create the point.
