Displays a composite layer of all the subtype values in a feature class.
Use case
This is useful for controlling labeling, visibility and symbology of a given subtype as though they are distinct layers on the map.
How to use the sample
The sample loads with the sublayer visible on the map. Toggle its visibility with the "Show sublayer" checkbox. Change the sublayer's renderer with the radio buttons, using "Show original renderer" or "Show alternative renderer", and set its minimum scale using the "Set sublayer minimum scale" button. This will set the sublayer's minimum scale to that of the current map scale. Zoom in and out to see the sublayer become visible based on its new scale range.
How it works
- Create a
SubtypeFeatureLayer
from aServiceFeatureTable
that defines a subtype, and add it to theArcGISMap
. - Get a
SubtypeSublayer
from the subtype feature using its name. - Enable the sublayer's labels and define them with a
LabelDefinition
. - Set the visibility status using this sublayer's
IsVisible
property. - Change the sublayer's symbology with
.setRenderer(Renderer)
. - Update the sublayer's minimum scale value with
.setMinScale()
.

- LabelDefinition
- ServiceFeatureTable
- SimpleLabelExpression

About the data
The feature service layer in this sample represents an electric network in Naperville, Illinois, which contains a utility network with asset classification for different devices.
