Constructor Detail

GraphicsSubLayer

public GraphicsSubLayer(Object obj)
                 throws IOException

Construct a GraphicsSubLayer using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to GraphicsSubLayer.
Casting to this class from the return value of a method will not work, as this class represents an abstract class in ArcObjects.
*
GraphicsSubLayer o = (GraphicsSubLayer)obj; // will not work

GraphicsSubLayer o = new GraphicsSubLayer(obj); // Use this constructor instead
* @param obj an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems GraphicsSubLayer theGraphicsSubLayer = (GraphicsSubLayer) obj;
