turning layers on/off with API

Does anyone know how to turn specific layers on/off using api or vb?

Thanks

RE: turning layers on/off with API

I do not use layers myself but if you look in API help you might find what you are looking for.  I did a search on layers and got back a couple dozen hits.

This will do the work:


Set layerMgr = swDraw.GetLayerManager()   'LayerManager object for the drawing doc object

Set swLayer = layerMgr.GetLayer(LayerName)
swLayer.Visible = True   'Turn it on ,Or False to turn off
