CreateMapPaneAsync(PaneCollection,Map,Nullable<MapViewingMode>,TimeRange) Method

In This Topic

Create and activate a new map pane which is a container for a ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapView.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public static Task<IMapPane> CreateMapPaneAsync( 
   PaneCollection paneCollection,
   Map map,
   Nullable<MapViewingMode> viewingMode,
   TimeRange timeExtent
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreateMapPaneAsync( _
   ByVal paneCollection As PaneCollection, _
   ByVal map As Map, _
   Optional ByVal viewingMode As Nullable(Of MapViewingMode), _
   Optional ByVal timeExtent As TimeRange _
) As Task(Of IMapPane)

Parameters

paneCollection: The project's collection of panes returned from ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.Panes.
map: The map to display in the view.
viewingMode: Specifies the perspective of the view.
timeExtent: Sets the time extent for the view.

Return Value

A Task returning a map pane.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.InvalidOperationException	Map can only be set for 2D views and SceneLocal and SceneGlobal can only be set for 3D views.

Remarks

When a new map pane is created the ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapView needs to initialize before any operations are performed on it. Be sure to await the Task to ensure the view has finished its initialization before performing any operations on the resulting ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapView.

Example

Find a map within a project and open it

public static async Task<Map> FindOpenExistingMapAsync(string mapName)
{
  return await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
  {
    Map map = null;
    Project proj = Project.Current;

    //Finding the first project item with name matches with mapName
    MapProjectItem mpi =
        proj.GetItems<MapProjectItem>()
            .FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name.Equals(mapName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase));
    if (mpi != null)
    {
      map = mpi.GetMap();
      //Opening the map in a mapview
      await ProApp.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(map);
    }
    return map;
  });

}

Open a webmap

Map map = null;

//Assume we get the selected webmap from the Project pane's Portal tab
if (Project.Current.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
{
  if (MapFactory.Instance.CanCreateMapFrom(Project.Current.SelectedItems[0]))
  {
    map = MapFactory.Instance.CreateMapFromItem(Project.Current.SelectedItems[0]);
    await ProApp.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(map);
  }
}

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1
