Layer Property

A Long type property. ID of the layer (the ID property), on which the shape/service object is located.

Applies to: ServObj object, Shape object

Syntax

[[Let] layerIDRet =] object.Layer

[Let] object.Layer = layerIDSet

The Layer property syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns an object in the Applies to list.
layerIDRet Optional. A Long type variable.
layerIDSet Required. An expression that returns a Long value. The ID of the layer.

Remarks

If there is no layer with the specified layerIDSet in the layer collection of the document, the Layer property doesn't change its value, as a shape can't be located on a nonexisting layer. To check whether the layer with the specified ID exists in the document, use the LayerByID method.
