This interface is used to create custom attribute autoupdate objects. An attribute AU is a quick way to add event-based attribute updates for field data.

Remember, these are applied to individual attributes in ArcFM Properties Field Info tab. Compare this to the IMMSpecialAUStrategy that are applied to the entire feature/object class under the ArcFM Properties Object Info tab in ArcCatalog.

This interface stores ArcFM configurations such as autoupdaters, custom field editors, and validation rules. The type of configuration stored is determined in the EditEvent property. The mmEditEvent value set in the EditEvent property determines which IMMAutoValue properties are applicable.

In the example below, the code goes through all of the ID8ListItems that are children of the IMMSubtype to find those that are IMMAutoValue. These list items represent the autoupdaters in the order they are assigned.

//Example Implementation of IMMAutoValue
// Specify ObjectClass and SubtypeCode, remember all field properties are by subtype
   IMMSubtype subtype = configTopLevel.GetSubtypeForEdit(objectClass, 1);
            
   // IMMSubtype is an ID8List, with IMMAutoValues (among other things)
   ID8List subtypeList = subtype as ID8List;
   subtypeList.Reset();

   ID8ListItem listItem = subtypeList.Next(false);
   while (listItem != null)
   {
      if (listItem is IMMAutoValue)
      {
         IMMAutoValue autoValue = listItem as IMMAutoValue;
         if (autoValue.AutoGenID != null)
         {
            switch (autoValue.EditEvent)
            {
               case mmEditEvent.mmEventFeatureCreate:
               // Compare AutoValue to some value you are searching for
               if (String.Compare(autoValue.AutoGenID.Value.ToString(), 
                                    "{1B6A3EBD-BE25-4FA0-8818-91C843601B1D}",true) == 0)
                {
                    // Remove the AU
                    autoValue.AutoGenID = null;
                    autoValue = null;
                }
                break;
            case mmEditEvent.mmEventFeatureUpdate:
                break;
            case mmEditEvent.mmEventFeatureDelete:
                break;
          }
        }
     }
     listItem = subtypeList.Next(false);
   }
   configTopLevel.SaveFeatureClassToDB(objectClass);

Use this interface to create custom display name objects. These objects allow you to include multiple attribute values in a feature's display name.

IMMDisplayNamer returns the source row only. If you need the fully joined row for your display name object, use IMMJoinDisplayNamer.

Use this interface to create custom display name objects. These objects allow you to include multiple attribute values in a feature's display name.

IMMJoinDisplayNamer returns the fully joined row for your display name object, as opposed to IMMDisplayNamer, which returns only the source table row.

IMMSpecialAUStrategy is obsolete. While this interface is still available for use (and custom code using this interface does still work), it may be deprecated in the future. It is recommended that you use IMMSpecialAUStrategyEx instead.

This interface allows you to create custom special autoupdate objects. A special AU differs from an attribute AU in that it is not associated with a field/event combination, but rather a feature/event combination.

This enumeration is used by: IMMSpecialAUStrategyEx::Enabled, IMMSpecialAUStrategyEx::Execute, IMMRelationshipAUStrategyEx::Enabled, and IMMRelationshipAUStrategy::Execute. This enumeration provides a list of edit events that may determine when an autoupdater is fired.

This enumeration contains various values (algorithms) that can be used to determine how to sort an ID8LIst.
