Hi,
I have a layer of unit pushpins that I want to be able to modify options of whether the layer is currently visible or not. However, it seems that GetPrimitives() is only returning primitives if the layer is visible. Is this by design?
I can work around it by accessing layer._primitives directly, but it doesn't feel right.
Thanks,
Ken
