activate existing mapview.active after it has been superseded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Using C#, I need to activate (or bring focus to) MapView.Active that has become inactive or been superseded.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()).

var mapPanes = ProApp.Panes.OfType<IMapPane>();
foreach (Pane pane in mapPanes)
{
    if (pane.Caption == "Your map view's caption")
    {
        pane.Activate();
        break;
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
