Howto create LayerObject?

First wrong

> BaseObject\* lay = BaseObject::Alloc(Olayer); \> (!lay) return FALSE;     // return null pointer \> lay->SetName(LayNameString); \> doc->InsertObject(lay,NULL,NULL,FALSE);

Second wrong

> LayerObject\* lay = LayerObject::Alloc(); \> (!lay) return FALSE;     // Good \> lay->SetName(LayNameString); \> doc->InsertObject((BaseObject\* )lay,NULL,NULL,FALSE);//Crash

Please help.

Hi dinnye,

The LayerObject has nothing to do with BaseObject. See class hierarchy.

What you want to do?

Hi Shawni

I want create layer in the Layer Browser (and assign to object (later))

My code

I see you tried doc->InsertObject(). You probably need to get the layer root (doc->GetLayerObjectRoot()) and append to the list (GeListHead->InsertLast(lo)).

Set an object to the layer using obj->SetLayerObject(lo).

Use lo->GetLayerData(doc,...) to get the layer settings.

About all that I can tell you about layers.

Yes, you have to insert the layer into the layer's list.

Simple example, inserts a layer:
