@Obaida, could you please explain how your addition works, in other words how does the complete code look like?

The complete code is in the @obaida post. His version of the script adds the selected object to the clicked layer. For example:
- you have 5 layers with names Layer_01 to Layer_05 and a teapot that belongs to Layer_02
- selec the teapot and run the script
- you will see the list of the layer names in the listbox
- choose to which layer you want to move the teapot and click it.
- if you want the teapot to be moved from layer_02 to layer_04 then click the "Layer_04"
- the teapot will be moved to Layer_04 and the rollout will be closed

If 3rd radiobutton "Add" is selected : doubleclick on listed layer to add selection to selected layer

try(destroyDialog ::theRollout)catch()
rollout theRollout "Select By Layer"
(
local getLay = LayerManager.getLayer, getLayN = layerManager.getLayerFromName
fn layerList = sort (for i = 0 to (layerManager.count-1) collect (getLay i).name)

button btn_refresh "Refresh List" pos:[5,3] width:170 height:18
button btn_unhide "Unhide All" pos:[5,25] width:170 height:18
group "Mode:"
(
radiobuttons rb_mode pos:[10,65] labels:#("Select", "Isolate", "Add") columns:3
)
listBox lb_laylist pos:[5,100] width:170 height:17

on theRollout open do ( lb_laylist.items = layerList())
on btn_refresh pressed do ( lb_laylist.items = layerList())
on btn_unhide pressed do ((for i = 0 to (layerManager.count-1) collect (getLay i)).on = on)
on lb_laylist doubleClicked idx do
(
node = getLayN lb_laylist.selected
array = for i = 0 to (layerManager.count-1) where (object = (getLay i)).name != lb_laylist.selected collect object
case rb_mode.state of
(
1: select (node.nodes &nodes ; nodes)
2: (node.on = on ; array.on = off)
3: (if selection.count > 0 do for o in selection do node.addnode o)
)
)
)
createDialog theRollout 180 330 10 110 style:#(#style_titlebar, #style_sysmenu, #style_toolwindow)

How it works
button "Refres List" - collect (fill) listbox with current scene layer names
button "Unhide All" - unhide (turn on) all layers
states "Mode" - this tool provides two choices by doubleclick in listbox :
- select all objects in picked layer
- isolate only object in picked layer

/*** ADD SELECTION TO LAYER ***/
try(destroyDialog ::theRollout)catch()
rollout theRollout "add obj to layer"
(
local getLay = LayerManager.getLayer, getLayN = layerManager.getLayerFromName
fn layerList = sort (for i = 0 to (layerManager.count-1) collect (getLay i).name)
listBox lb_laylist --pos:[5,90] width:170 height:17

on theRollout open do ( lb_laylist.items = layerList())
on lb_laylist selected idx do
(
node = getLayN lb_laylist.selected
For obj in selection do node.addnode obj
destroyDialog ::theRollout
)
)
createDialog theRollout style:#(#style_boarder)
