I see the issue. This is a tricky one. Because u r making a map-on-the-fly, it does not have an associated MapView. The MapView - as in the "rendering" or "display" of the map (and not the map itself - which is the "data" or model ) is what actually gets exported..... For this to work u need to split it into 2 separate steps - or button clicks....The first step creates the map and renderers it on a MapView.  The second step, or "click" creates your layout on-the-fly and exports it. These do not have to happen, of course, in an exact sequence....the requirement for the Map frame to be exported is that the Map, at some point in time, prior to the export, has been rendered on a MapView. It does not have to "immediately" precede the export. To create a MapView pane to render/display the map programmatically do:  await FrameworkApplication.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(newMap);   So, in the case of your specific code example, I made two buttons - a "Create Map" and a "Create Export". The Create Map consolidates all the code to create the map, add the layer, and create a MapView.  The Create Export is, basically, everything else. Create the map: protected override void OnClick() { var census_map = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var map = MapFactory.Instance.CreateMap( "Census Map", MapType.Map, MapViewingMode.Map, Basemap.NationalGeographic ); string url = @"https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer"; Uri uri = new Uri(url); LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(uri, map); return map; }); FrameworkApplication.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(census_map); } }   Create the export: protected override void OnClick() { //Find the map to be exported Map census_map = null; var map_panes = FrameworkApplication.Panes.OfType<IMapPane>().ToList(); foreach(var map_pane in map_panes) { if (map_pane.MapView.Map.Name == "Census Map") { census_map = map_pane.MapView.Map; break; } } if (census_map == null) { //Early exit, MessageBox, etc. } await QueuedTask.Run(() => { //Create the layout //Export, etc. }; ...     ...

For the map view _only_ there is mapView.CaptureThumbnail(width, height) https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic19522.html but it sounds like u might already be using this?   For a legend, northarrow, other marginalia, etc. u r basically describing the purpose of a Layout. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/layouts/layouts-in-arcgis-pro.htm Layouts can be exported to a variety of different formats including various image formats and pdf. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic22445.html - u will also find some code examples on this reference page.   ...

I dont see why not.  ... View more

The best you can do is add your own notification to the application. The Create dockpane "built-in" message is not accessible. var feature_name = "Parcels"; ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.AddNotification( new ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Notification() { Message = $"Create {feature_name} complete", Title = "Create features", ImageUrl = @"pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/MarsCat32.png" } );   ...
