How to make a map the Active map in MapView

JamalWest2 — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 19:49:59 GMT

I am adding a layout to my project. The layout has 3 MapFrames and each MapFrame contains a map. I am trying to figure out how to select a specific map and make it the MapView.Active.Map? I have not found anyway to do this. I want to do this so I can make changes to the extent of the map and zoom to the extent. You can do this in Pro by simply clicking the map and that will make it active. How do I achieve this through the sdk?.

Hi Jamal,

I have my own view pane, but I think way is the same as in code below:

            foreach (var pane in FrameworkApplication.Panes)
            {
                var profilePane = pane as ViewStatePane;
                if (profilePane != null)
                {
                    if (profilePane.ContentID == "ceProfilePro_ProfilePane" && profilePane.Caption == item.Text)
                    {
                        profilePane.Activate();
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

Change pane checking condition with yours.
