test layer state

    I can't seem to figure out how to test if a layer is frozen or thawed with
    ActiveX

    This is what I have:

    (setq Layer1 (getvar "clayer"))

    (if (= (vla-get-freeze Layer1) :vlax-false)
    (setvar "clayer" Layer1)
    (setvar "clayer" 0))

    I think the problem is that Layer1 is not an activex layer, rather it is
    just a string. So I guess the question is how do I make it read at an
    activex layer?

    Thanks, kemp

    Thanks Jeff. I will have to study the uses of vla-item more. I had tried
    several vla commands but none used vla-item so thanks for enlightening me!

    Also, I hadn't thought about the fact that setting Layer1 to the "clayer"
    this will ALWAYS return false. Guess that is a lot easier - thanks again!
