CoClasses that implement IDynamicSymbolProperties2

CoClasses and Classes	Description
DynamicDisplay (esriCarto)	Dynamic display class, used by the dynamic map.

Remarks

The Dynamic Display has four internal Dynamic Symbols that are being used to determine how the Dynamic Items are to be rendered. These internal Dynamic Symbols are:

· Dynamic Marker Symbol

· Dynamic Line Symbol

· Dynamic Fill Symbol

· Dynamic Text Symbol

The IDynamicSymbolProperties2 interface is used in order to set these four Dynamic Symbols’ Properties.

Each Dynamic Item that is rendered will be affected by the current state of the Internal Dynamic Symbols. For example, when DrawPolygon method is being called, the polygon’s fill will be rendered according to the current state of the internal Dynamic Fill Symbol, and the Polygon’s outline will be rendered according to the current state of the internal Dynamic Line Symbol.
