Hello,
I want to programatically turn on a layer from the TOC menu when a widget is clicked.  How would I do that?  Please help.

Thanks,

Anthony,
Thanks for the link to that post.  I do have a question. How does he know what layer to make visible?  Is the "Major Roads" a layer in his TOC menu? Would I just pass a string name of the layer to that event listener?SiteContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.PROGRAMATIC_LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED, false, false, "Major Roads"));

Thanks,
Ray
