As i couldnt find any "CopyLayer" command. I was wondering if this would be a safe way to do it:
Code: Select all
newlayerid = InsertLayer(0, #BRUSH, 1, 1, 1)
t = GetLayerStyle(layertobecopiedID)
SetLayerStyle(newlayerid, t)
Or do i have to take something into consideration, like is there some piece of information missing from layerstyle infos?

Hmm, interesting approach. I'm not sure it will work 100% for all layer types, though, although in theory it should. If you have a case where it doesn't work, just post.

Last but not least:
Code: Select all
- New: Added CopyLayer() command which can be used to make an identical copy of an existing layer; all
layer attributes are cloned except the layer name (if present) because that must be unique; a new name
for the layer can be passed in the optional table argument
