Show/hide layers

[funkyfresh]

We have many different layers and we are trying to write a program to select the right layer to display by sending it as a string. The following code we know works

g_AcadDoc.Layers(layerNumber).Freeze = Not viewable

layerNumber is an integer but we are trying to retrieve the layerNumber by looking for the passed layerName.

Thank you

You can pass either a number (the index of the layer in the collection)

or a string (the name of the layer).

What is the object g_AcadDoc that holds the layers object? I am trying to hide layers myself and am not having much luck.

Thank you.

It's the AcadDocument class.
