The IGridLabel interface holds properties common to all types of grid labels. Not all grid labels can be used with all types of grids. The Applies property of IGridLabel returns True if the grid label can be used with the grid that you pass in as argument. The table below lists the types of labels that can be used with each grid type.
Using the DisplayName property, you can list the type of label that the IGridLabel interface is pointing to. The strings returned for the various label types are also listed in the table.
You can control the vertical or horizontal orientation of the labels along each of the four sides of the grid using the LabelAlignment property. You specify which axis you are setting the property for using an esriGridAxisEnum enumeration.
