Constructor Detail

Cursor

public Cursor(Object obj)
       throws IOException

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

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

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems Cursor theCursor = (Cursor) obj;

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

findField

public int findField(String name)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

The index of the field with the specified name.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

findField in interface ICursor

Parameters:

name - The name (in)

Returns:

The fieldIndex

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getFields

public IFields getFields()
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

The Fields Collection for this cursor.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getFields in interface ICursor

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFields

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

nextRow

public IRow nextRow()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Advance the position of the cursor by one and return the Row object at that position.

Remarks

The NextRow method on a search or update cursor returns the next row in the result set to the application. The row object returned is allocated and hydrated by the cursor, and a reference to it is handed to the application. To retrieve all rows in a result set containing N rows, the application must make N calls to NextRow. In VB, a call to NextRow after the last row in the result set has been retrieved returns Nothing. In C++, a call to NextRow after the last row in the result set has been retrieved returns a value of S_FALSE and sets the output row reference to 0.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

nextRow in interface ICursor

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRow

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

updateRow

public void updateRow(IRow row)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Update the existing Row in the database corresponding to the current position of the cursor.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

updateRow in interface ICursor

Parameters:

row - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRow (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

deleteRow

public void deleteRow()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Delete the existing Row in the database corresponding to the current position of the cursor.

Remarks

The cursor must be initialized to a row (with the NextRow method) before this method can be successfully called.
