Simple operations with layers

Please point me in the right direction (give short code or classes/methods names), I need to write a plugin (AI CC 2015) to do the following:

1.- turn on/off visibility of a certain layer

2.- set opacity of a certain layer (like in Window > Transparency panel)

3.- select a certain layer in "Layers" panel

Correct answer ivanmmmmm

It seems I will have to answer the question myself:

extern "C" AILayerSuite *sAILayer;

extern "C" AIArtSuite *sAIArt;

extern "C" AIBlendStyleSuite *sAIBlendStyle;

ASErr result = kNoErr;

AILayerHandle lyr = NULL;

result = sAILayer->GetNthLayer(0, &lyr);

1.- turn on/off visibility of a certain layer

result = sAILayer->SetLayerVisible(lyr, false);

2.- set opacity of a certain layer (like in Window > Transparency panel)

AIArtHandle art = NULL;

result = sAIArt->GetFirstArtOfLayer(lyr, &art);

result = sAIBlendStyle->SetOpacity(art, 0.5);

3.- select a certain layer in "Layers" panel

result = sAILayer->SetCurrentLayer(lyr);
