Thanks for your help. Using QgsVectorLayer worked straight away to give the handle from the source files.<div>I assume OgsRasterLayer will work the same way. I can use the file name extension to determine if the file is raster or vector but was wondering if Qgis has a library for that too?</div>

</div>as I see you use code from Giuseppe. If you want to get<br>
layer object use my function or modify your existing code.<br>
You need to create a QgsVectorLayer object from layer's<br>
source.<br>
