IGeoFeatureLayer Interface

Provides access to members that control geographic aspects of a feature layer.

Product Availability

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

Description

Provides access to symbolization and labeling properties for layers based on vector geographic data. Also provides a method for returning a read-only feature cursor of layer features that includes joined fields.

Members

	Name	Description
	AnnotationProperties	Annotation properties.
	AnnotationPropertiesID	The UID used for annotation properties.
	AreaOfInterest	The default area of interest for the layer.
	Cached	Indicates if the layer needs its own display cache.
	CurrentMapLevel	Current map level for drawing symbols.
	DataSourceType	Data source type.
	DisplayAnnotation	Indicates if the layer displays annotation.
	DisplayFeatureClass	Feature class used for display operations (may include joined fields).
	DisplayField	Primary display field.
	Draw	Draws the layer to the specified display for the given draw phase.
	ExclusionSet	The set of features that are excluded from drawing.
	FeatureClass	The layer's feature class.
	MaximumScale	Maximum scale (representative fraction) at which the layer will display.
	MinimumScale	Minimum scale (representative fraction) at which the layer will display.
	Name	Layer name.
	Renderer	Renderer used to draw the layer.
	RendererPropertyPageClassID	Class id of the property page for the renderer.
	ScaleSymbols	Indicates if symbols are scaled for the layer.
	Search	Creates a cursor based upon the search criteria.
	SearchDisplayFeatures	Creates a cursor from the display feature class based upon the search criteria.
	Selectable	Indicates if layer is selectable.
	ShowTips	Indicates if the layer shows map tips.
	SpatialReference	Spatial reference for the layer.
	SupportedDrawPhases	Supported draw phases.
	TipText	Map tip text at the specified location.
	Valid	Indicates if the layer is currently valid.
	Visible	Indicates if the layer is currently visible.

Inherited Interfaces

Interfaces	Description
IFeatureLayer	Provides access to members that control common aspects of a feature layer.
ILayer	Provides access to members that work with all layers.

Classes that implement IGeoFeatureLayer

Classes	Description
CadastralFabricSubLayer	Cadastral Fabric Feature Layer Object.
CadFeatureLayer	Esri CAD Feature Layer class.
FeatureLayer	A collection of features and their visual representation.
GdbRasterCatalogLayer	Geodabase RasterCatalog source and display options.
TemporalFeatureLayer (esriTrackingAnalyst)	Defines the coclass IDL parameters and attributes of the TemporalFeatureLayer COM object.

Remarks

IGeoFeatureLayer inherits from IFeatureLayer, and IFeatureLayer in turn inherits from ILayer. This means when you are working with a layer through IGeoFeatureLayer, that all of the properties and methods of IFeatureLayer and ILayer are directly available.
