Example

/* This example will show the names of the all layers inside a vector handle, in a message box */
L_VOID ShowLayers( pVECTORHANDLE pVector )
{
   L_INT             nCount, i;
   VECTORLAYER       Layer;
   VECTORLAYERDESC   LayerDesc;

   /* Get number of layers inside the vector handle */
   nCount = L_VecGetLayerCount( pVector );

   /* Iterate through the layers */
   for( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
   {
      /* Get layer and its descriptor */
      L_VecGetLayerByIndex( pVector, i, &Layer );
      L_VecGetLayer( pVector, &Layer, &LayerDesc );

      /* Show name in a message box */
      MessageBox( NULL, LayerDesc.szName, TEXT("Layer Name"), MB_OK );

      /* Free the layer descriptor because it's no longer needed */
      L_VecFreeLayer( &LayerDesc );
