    //This sample checks to see if a layout project item already has an open application pane.  
    //If it does, it checks if it is the active layout view, if not, it creates, activates and opens a new pane.
    
    //Reference a layoutitem in a project by name
    LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("Layout View"));
    
    //Get the layout associated with the layoutitem
    Layout lyt = await QueuedTask.Run(() => layoutItem.GetLayout());
          
    //Iterate through each pane in the application and check to see if the layout is already open and if so, activate it
    foreach (var pane in ProApp.Panes)
    {
      var layoutPane = pane as ILayoutPane;
      if (layoutPane == null)  //if not a layout pane, continue to the next pane
        continue;
      if (layoutPane.LayoutView.Layout == lyt)  //if the layout pane does match the layout, activate it.
      {
        (layoutPane as Pane).Activate();
        layoutPane.Caption = "This is a test";
        System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(layoutPane.Caption);
        return;
      }
    }
    //Otherwise, create, open, and activate the layout if not already open
    ILayoutPane newPane = await ProApp.Panes.CreateLayoutPaneAsync(lyt);
    
    //Zoom to the full extent of the layout
    await QueuedTask.Run(() => newPane.LayoutView.ZoomTo100Percent());
