Reinstate ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.LayerPosition enum

In the transition from ArcGIS Pro 2.9 to Pro 3 the ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.LayerPosition was removed i.e.

see https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.0/sdk/api-reference/topic15120.html

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.0/sdk/api-reference/topic15120.html#i-heading--detailed-list-of-changes-arcgis-core-

look in API Changes Detailed List of Changes ArcGIS-Core 15th instance of 29 for LayerPosition.

The LayerPosition.AutoArrange option was very handy for adding external basemaps to a map. It would group basemaps together at the bottom of the Table Of Contents.

As in this useage:

layer = await QueuedTask.Run(() => LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(uri, mapView.Map, LayerPosition.AddToTop, ShowName));

Alternative create an equivalent method or enum with the same functionality as the AutoArrage option.

@StefanDieters1

It got moved to MapMemberCreationParams class. Please use the MapMemberPosition property of this class for this.

Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Thanks

Thanks @TanuHoque

that was the clue I need to convert my code across.

For anybody else that needs help here is a code snippet:

// Create the parameters // note many more parameters are possible // Use this pattern to create Feature layers, service layers ... var parmeters = new LayerCreationParams(uri) { Name = ShowName, MapMemberPosition = MapMemberPosition.AutoArrange, IsVisible= true, }; // Layers such as the world toppgraphic and basemaps added via Layer > Basmap > select from gallery are not feature layers. layer = await QueuedTask.Run(() => LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer<Layer>(parmeters, mapView.Map));

uri is the Uri(Path to the service providing the basemap) e.g. https://services.thelist.tas.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/Basemaps/Topographic/MapServer

ShowName is a string describing the layer.

If people are interested in getting the index themselves: this link was useful:
