Struggling with layer deactivation

Hi, I just performed a render test for mogrt in premiere pro. where I had set the opacity of 5 out of 6 layers to 0. render time was 8.5 minutes.
and when I manually deactivated the layer instead of setting the opacity 0. render time was 4 minutes for the same mogrt.
So now, I want to create a plugin for after effect. I want to create a effect that will have a checkbox and it will disable the layer. and I would export the functionality in mogrt for premiere pro.
I successfully created a simple plugin that has a checkbox. but the problem is I'm unable to find the syntax for the layer.
If anyone knows how can I get the layer on which my effect is attached and what is the syntax to disable the layer through the c++ APi.

this is how you turn off the video switch of the effect's seld layer.
AEGP_LayerH layerH;

suites.AEGP_GetEffectLayer(in_data->effect_ref, &layerH);

suites.AEGP_SetLayerFlag(layerH, AEGP_LayerFlag_VIDEO_ACTIVE, FALSE);

I am new to this API and trying to change the default template in the SDK and things are going over my head.
I don't know how can I get the current layer. and how to check if the layer is disabled and how to disable it if it's already enabled.
