Map Control for User Selection in Dialog Box or WPF Window

Question

I am evaluating moving an existing ArcMap project to ArcGIS Pro.   I need to see if there is an example of how to do this with the ArcGIS Pro SDK.   I have a wizard in ArcMap where one of the steps is a screen display with a map with a layer for the user to select features for the particular polygon layer.   I used the AxMapControl and AxToolbarControl to allow the user to do this selection.   If I move it over to ArcGIS Pro, I would need to have the same capabilities.    I was wondering if this is possible to do, or if I need to look at an additional developer api to make this work in the application.   Is there any examples or documentation on how to do this?

Take a look at Magnifier_MapTool how to bind your tool to mapcontrol

OK, I looked at the code you suggested, which was helped a little bit further. Now, I have the following code: var uri = new Uri(out_feature_class); // out_feature_class = 'C:\db est.gdb esultsInfo' var featureLayerParams = new FeatureLayerCreationParams(uri); FeatureLayer featureLayer = null; Map currentMap = null; try { await QueuedTask.Run(() => { currentMap = MapFactory.Instance.CreateMap("tempMap", basemap: Basemap.None); //TODO: use the map... }); } catch (Exception ex) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); } // now I assign the map I just created to the ViewContent of mapcontrol to display it mapControl.ViewContent = MapControlContentFactory.Create(currentMap,initialExtent, MapViewingMode.Map); await QueuedTask.Run(() => { featureLayer = LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(featureLayerParams, currentMap); }); // to add the layer to the created map that was added to the mapcontrol The next step was to create a tool to allow for selecting one or more polygons from the results layer: I took the code from the above example: class SelectAndZoom : MapTool { ///

/// Constructor ///

public SelectAndZoom() { IsSketchTool = true; SketchType = SketchGeometryType.Rectangle; // rectangle sketch tool SketchOutputMode = SketchOutputMode.Screen; } ///

/// On sketch completion select the intersecting features and zoom ///

/// /// protected override Task OnSketchCompleteAsync(Geometry geometry) { return QueuedTask.Run(() => { //select features that intersect the sketch geometry var selection = MapView.Active.SelectFeatures(geometry, SelectionCombinationMethod.New); //zoom to selection return MapView.Active.ZoomToAsync(selection, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.5), true); }); } However, the OnSketchCompleteAsync never executes, even if I just try to change this to be just a single point select by changing SketchType to Point and CompleteSketchOnMouseUp= true. I believe the problem is that it does not capture the map control's map view (which is defined in its own dialog box). It appears that I need to have it attach to the mapcontrol's map or mapview, but I do see how to change it from MapView.Active to the mapControl.GetMap() or mapControl.GetMapView() or even to mapControl.GetMapView().ToMapView(). I am stuck at this juncture, since all this does, including setting ActivateSelectAsync(true) in the constructor of the tool and cause the mapcontrol to pan and zoom.
