Impersonate Method—ArcGIS Pro

Allows a Pane to override the state it sets when activated.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

protected void Impersonate( 
   string paneID
)

Protected Sub Impersonate( _
   ByVal paneID As String _
)

Parameters

paneID: The state to impersonate. The state may be a custom setting or an implicit one like a Pane ID.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentException	Thrown when an empty state is passed in.

Remarks

Panes set an implicit state within the overall application when activated. Many user interface elements respond to changes in application state; for example, different tabs appear depending on the type of Pane activated. When a Pane is activated, its DAML ID is by default added to application level State; the Impersonate method allows the Pane to override this behavior and instead specify a custom state. For example, when a Map is activated inside a Layout, the Layout impersonates a Map Pane so that all of the mapping functionality will become available to the activated Map.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 8.1
