    Example
    Select an item in the Catalog pane
    //Get the catalog pane
    ArcGIS.Desktop.Core.IProjectWindow projectWindow = Project.GetCatalogPane();
    //or get the active catalog view...
    //ArcGIS.Desktop.Core.IProjectWindow projectWindow = Project.GetActiveCatalogWindow();
    
    //eg Find a toolbox in the project
    string gpName = "Interacting with Maps.tbx";
    var toolbox = Project.Current.GetItems<GeoprocessingProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(tbx => tbx.Name == gpName);
    //Select it under Toolboxes
    projectWindow.SelectItemAsync(toolbox, true, true, null);//null selects it in the first container - optionally await
                                                             //Note: Project.Current.GetProjectItemContainer("GP") would get toolbox container...
    
    //assume toolbox is also under Folders container. Select it under Folders instead of Toolboxes
    var foldersContainer = Project.Current.ProjectItemContainers.First(c => c.Path == "FolderConnection");
    //We must specify the container because Folders comes second (after Toolboxes)
    projectWindow.SelectItemAsync(toolbox, true, true, foldersContainer);//optionally await
    
    //Find a map and select it
    var mapItem = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name == "Map");
    //Map only occurs under "Maps" so the container need not be specified
    projectWindow.SelectItemAsync(mapItem, true, false, null);
