Hi,

I'm running into a strange problem. Hopefully somebody here knows what's wrong.

I'm trying to set some states of the layer browser. That's all fine, except when I'm trying to un-solo a layer. When I un-solo a layer, all the objects disappear from the Object Manager and viewports. They'll come back if I toggle any of the layer buttons.

Here's the code I'm using:

GeListHead* llist = bDoc->GetLayerObjectRoot();
GeListNode* layer = llist->GetFirst();
LayerObject* lObj = SearchLayers(layer, bDoc, layerName); //my own function to search for a specific layer
const LayerData* pLData = lObj->GetLayerData(bDoc, TRUE);
LayerData lData = *pLData;
lData.solo = StringToBool(value); //value is coming from somewhere else
lObj->SetLayerData(bDoc, lData);

//I'm trying all of these to update the the scene
lObj->Message(MSG_UPDATE);
EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW);
DrawViews(DA_FORCEFULLREDRAW, NULL);
EventAdd();

Any ideas?

Please, any help at all?

The layer button states change, so it looks like the right info is being sent to the layer object. Looks like some kind of core message is not being sent correctly.

I tried adding bDoc->SetChanged(); but that didn't help, either.

Thank you for the help, Matthias. I'm looking forward to hearing back from the developers. Hopefully, there's a workaround or an easy solution.

Additionally to changing the LayerData you also have to delete the document's Solo bit. Please check the attached source code. It un-solos the first layer.

Excellent! Thank you! If possible, I think it would be a good idea to make a note of that on the layer data page for the next SDK release.
