ArcGISWhen using ArcGIS as Map Control, the right hand box in the Select Visible Layers section displays additional information about the currently selected sub layer. By default, when a WMS layer is inserted into a GeoPlan Window, only the first twenty sub layers are marked as visible. A sub layer will only be visible if its parent is marked as visible. MapXtremeWhen using MapXtreme as Map Control, selection of parent groups is disabled. Parent groups are always unchecked; use the sub-layer check boxes to control visibility.
