Summary

I wish entities will be updated automatically when changes are being made to the layer dialog

Solution

Added in 6026.

The layer dialog updates the drawing view automatically when a user changes either the visibility of the layer or it's color, penstyle , penwidth properties.

If you do not like this feature either because your drawings are pretty heavy to instant update them or for any other reason you can cancel this behaviour as following using a static property added to the LayersDialog class

VectorDraw.Professional.Dialogs.LayersDialog.InstantUpdate = false; //Default value is true.
and for the wrapper : VDraw1.ActiveDocument.InvokeEx Nothing, "VectorDraw.Professional.dll#VectorDraw.Professional.Dialogs.LayersDialog.InstantUpdate", 1, False
