Determine an Object's Layer Name
Windows only

Demonstrates how to determine a selected object's layer name using C++.

CRhinoCommand::result CCommandTest::RunCommand( const CRhinoCommandContext& context )
{
  CRhinoGetObject go;
  go.SetCommandPrompt( L"Select object" );
  go.GetObjects( 1, 1 );
  if( go.CommandResult() != CRhinoCommand::success )
    return go.CommandResult();

  const CRhinoObjRef& objref = go.Object(0);
  const CRhinoObject* object = objref.Object();
  if( !object )
    return CRhinoCommand::failure;

  const CRhinoObjectAttributes& attributes = object->Attributes();
  int layer_index = attributes.m_layer_index;

  const CRhinoLayerTable& layer_table = context.m_doc.m_layer_table;
  const CRhinoLayer& layer = layer_table[layer_index];
  ON_wString layer_name = layer.LayerName();
  RhinoApp().Print( L"The selected object's layer is \"%s\"\n", layer_name );

  return CRhinoCommand::success;
