add_ITemporalReferenceEventsListener

public void add_ITemporalReferenceEventsListener(_ITemporalReferenceEvents theListener)
                                          throws IOException

add_ITemporalReferenceEventsListener. Listen to events generated by this class.

public void remove_ITemporalReferenceEventsListener(_ITemporalReferenceEvents theListener)

getTemporalPerspective

public Object getTemporalPerspective()
                              throws IOException,
                                     AutomationException

Timestamp used by the temporal renderer to compare its time ranges stored in the temporal legend's temporal classes.

Description

The Temporal Perspective property is a timestamp of the current temporal perspective in time. This property has different roles for each temporal mode. When the object's temporal mode is fixed-time, the Temporal Reference's Temporal Perspective property is a static timestamp. This facilitates the view of temporally based data within a layer at a particular point in time. When the object's temporal mode is real-time, this object automatically updates the temporal perspective at the RealTimeUpdateFrequency Properties rate. This facilitates real-time or current time viewing of temporally enabled data. Any update to this property fires an OnUpdate event whether is comes from internally, in real-time mode, or externally thought the interface. Additionally this property will set the internal variable to the current system time if a null value is provided. This facilitates individual layers requesting a temporal update and the re-draw request is managed for all layers in a map.

The format of this value is a CTimeStamp Variant format which is a array of 3 long integers. See the CTimeStamp documentation for further details.

setTemporalPerspective in interface ITemporalReference

Parameters:

pVal - A Variant (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getTemporalMode

public int getTemporalMode()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Controls the behavior of temporal reference to reflect real-time or playback mode.

Description

The TemporalMode property controls the behavior of the temporal reference. This property can have two values:

• enumRealTime : RealTime Mode is when the computers system clock drives the temporal perspective value. A On Update event if fired each time the TemporalPerspective Property is changed. This change is based on the RealTimeUpdateFrequency property.
