Is it possible to change the layer of a shape?

The layermem property is read-only. I cannot delete and recreate, the shape ID must stay the same.

Thanks - J

Hi Joseph,


Thank you for contacting support. Yes, you can change the layer of a shape by setting LayerMem.LayerMember.Value property. You require to set a layer index i.e. 0, 1 or 2. In that case, you do not need to delete and recreate a shape with similar id.

I hope it helps. Please do let me know in case any further assistance or questions.

Thankyou that works.

Is it possible to create a *new* layer, and then move the shape to that new layer?
