Returns a
map by loading it first if necessary. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Create Map Frame and Set Camera
//Create a map frame and set its camera by zooming to the extent of an existing bookmark.
//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
//Build 2D envelope geometry
Coordinate2D mf_ll = new Coordinate2D(6.0, 8.5);
Coordinate2D mf_ur = new Coordinate2D(8.0, 10.5);
//At 2.x - Envelope mf_env = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(mf_ll, mf_ur);
Envelope mf_env = EnvelopeBuilderEx.CreateEnvelope(mf_ll, mf_ur);
//Reference map, create MF and add to layout
MapProjectItem mapPrjItem = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>()
.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("Map"));
Map mfMap = mapPrjItem.GetMap();
Bookmark bookmark = mfMap.GetBookmarks().FirstOrDefault(
b => b.Name == "Great Lakes");
//At 2.x - MapFrame mfElm =
// LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapFrame(
// layout, mf_env, mfMap);
// mfElm.SetName("New Map Frame");
//
MapFrame mfElm = ElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapFrameElement(
layout, mf_env, mfMap, "New Map Frame");
//Zoom to bookmark
mfElm.SetCamera(bookmark);
});
Find a map within a project and open it
public static async Task<Map> FindOpenExistingMapAsync(string mapName)
{
return await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>

//Finding the first project item with name matches with mapName
MapProjectItem mpi = proj.GetItems<MapProjectItem>()
.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name.Equals(mapName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase));

{
map = mpi.GetMap();
//Opening the map in a mapview
await ProApp.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(map);
