activate existing mapview.active after it has been superseded

MikeRatcliffe

Using C#, I need to activate (or bring focus to) MapView.Active that has become inactive or been superseded.  I need to ensure it's active before running operations on it in a customized interface.  Thanks.

Hi Mike,

 There is an example dealing with MapViews here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/tree/master/Framework/OpenMapViews

The code snippet below finds any map view pane with a given caption and brings the first matching one to the foreground (by calling .Activate()).

<SPAN class="keyword token">var</SPAN> mapPanes <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> ProApp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Panes<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>OfType<SPAN class="operator token"><</SPAN>IMapPane<SPAN class="operator token">></SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">foreach</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>Pane pane <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> mapPanes<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="keyword token">if</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>pane<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Caption <SPAN class="operator token">==</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"Your map view's caption"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pane<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">Activate</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="keyword token">break</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <SPAN class="punctuation token">}</SPAN>
<SPAN class="punctuation token">}</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
