The IIdentify interface can be used to identify features at the specified location. When this interface is on a map layer, the Identify method returns an array of FeatureIdentifyObject objects.
On a FeatureIdentifyObject, you can do a QI to the IIdentifyObj interface to get more information about the identified feature. The IIdentifyObj interface returns the window handle, layer, and name of the feature; it has methods to flash the feature in the display and to display a context menu at the Identify location.
