Manipulate CorelDraw layers

LayerActive

This one is also available in Corel, but the same as LayerCreate, Corel doesn't check first if the layer exists...

ATTENTION: Requires LayerExists Function (Page 2)

'Set active layer

Public Sub LayerActive(varLayerName As String)

   Dim varMsgBoxResult As Integer
   Set myDoc = Application.ActiveDocument
   If LayerExists(varLayerName) Then
       For Each Layer In myDoc.ActivePage.Layers
           If Layer.Name = varLayerName Then Layer.Activate
       Next
   Else
       varMsgBoxResult = MsgBox("Layer doesn't exist! Create a new layer called '" & varLayerName & "'?", vbYesNo, "ATTENTION!")
       If varMsgBoxResult = 6 Then LayerCreate (varLayerName)
   End If

End Sub
