[mapguide-users] Change Layer Visibility - Mapguide With Openlayers3

I found my problem. It was here:

map.Save(resService); should be map.Save();

Updating the OpenLayers mapguide layer accomplished like this:

var params = mgLayer.getSource().getParams();

params.t = new Date().getMilliseconds();

mgLayer.getSource().updateParams(params);

Thanks,

OpenLayers v3.18

Mapguide 3.1 64 bit

IIs â Windows 10

Is it possible to change the visibility of a Mapguide map layer using the
Mapguide api and then have the change reflected in the openlayers viewer
where the Mapguide map is a layer?

I have tried the following code below and seem to be able to get the layer
visibility and set the visibility, but I donât think the changes are being
saved to the âruntimeâ or session map. (btw: When I couldnât make it work
with OpenLayers, I tried it in the AJAX viewer with an invoke url running
in the task pane and that is the code shown.)

Thanks,
