CreateLayer Method
Creates a new editing context layer. Editing context layers can be used to create editing modes. For example, you may create a layer before starting a drag operation on the designer. Any new context items you add to the layer hide context items underneath it. When the layer is removed, all context items under the layer are re-surfaced. This allows you to create a layer and set overrides for context items during operations such as drag and drop.
