The syntax for Intersect is:
Code:
Set variable = object.Intersect(InputTable, useSelectedInput, overlayTable, useSelectedOverlay, Tolerance, outputName)
where:
variable - is a reference to an object that implements IFeatureClass.
object - is an object expression that evaluates to an IBasicGeoprocessor object.
InputTable - is an ITable object.
useSelectedInput - is a Boolean expression that represents the selected state of the input layer. It specifies whether only the selected subset of the InputTable will be intersected. False signifies that the operation will ignore any selected subset in InputTable.
overlayTable - is an e object
useSelectedOverlay - is a Boolean expression that represents the selected state of the overlay layer. It specifies whether only the selected subset of the overlayTable will be used. False signifies that the operation will ignore any selected subset in overlayTable.
Tolerance - is a double that represents the tolerance. It is the Intersect tolerance. Pass 0.0 to use the default tolerance, which is 1/10,000 of the extent of the dataframe.
outputName - is an IFeatureClassName object.
This VBA example Intersects two feature layers.
