LVectorBase::SetActiveLayer

Summary

Sets the active layer in the class object's associated vector. This function is available in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Toolkit.

Syntax

virtual L_INT LVectorBase::SetActiveLayer(pVectorLayer);

Parameters

LVectorLayer * pVectorLayer

Pointer to the LVectorLayer object that references the layer to set as the active layer.

Returns

Comments

Some functions use the active layer when NULL is passed for a pLVectorLayer parameter. This makes it easier to work with the toolkit when layers are not needed.

Example

This example adds a new layer, and makes it the active layer.

L_INT LVectorBase__SetActiveLayerExample(HWND hWnd, LVectorBase *pVector) 
{ 
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(hWnd); 
 
   L_INT             nRet; 
   VECTORLAYERDESC   Desc; 
   LVectorLayer      Layer; 
 
   nRet = Layer.GetLayerDesc(&Desc); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   lstrcpy(Desc.szName, TEXT("Tom's new layer")); 
 
   nRet = Layer.SetLayerDesc(&Desc); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   nRet = pVector-> AddLayer(&Layer); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   nRet = pVector->SetActiveLayer(&Layer); 
   if(nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   return SUCCESS;
