IEditTemplate Interface

Product Availability

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

Description

This interface contains the properties of the template including the associated layer and the default values for fields.

When To Use

Templates are created using the IEditTemplate and IEditTemplateFactory interfaces and managed through the IEditor3 interface.

The current or selected template can be obtained from the IEditor3::Currenttemplate method returning IEditTemplate.

The symbology for the template is determined by the value of the field used to render the layer in the map and is handled internally.

Templates are stored within the map document and within a layer file if the layer is exported as such.
