Example Version

Name Property (CIMMaplexDictionary)
Gets or sets the Maplex dictionary name.
Syntax
public string Name {get; set;}
Example
Create and apply Abbreviation Dictionary in the Map Definition to a layer
public static void CreateDictionary()
{
  //Get the map's definition
  var mapDefn = MapView.Active.Map.GetDefinition();
  //Get the Map's Maplex labelling engine properties
  var mapDefnPlacementProps = mapDefn.GeneralPlacementProperties as CIMMaplexGeneralPlacementProperties;

  //Define the abbreviations we need in an array            
  List<CIMMaplexDictionaryEntry> abbreviationDictionary = new List<CIMMaplexDictionaryEntry>
        {
            new CIMMaplexDictionaryEntry {

            }

        };
  //The Maplex Dictionary - can hold multiple Abbreviation collections

            }

        };
  //Set the Maplex Label Engine Dictionary property to the Maplex Dictionary collection created above.
  mapDefnPlacementProps.Dictionaries = maplexDictionary.ToArray();
  //Set the Map definition 
  MapView.Active.Map.SetDefinition(mapDefn);
}

{
  var featureLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().First();

  QueuedTask.Run(() =>
  {
    //Creates Abbreviation dictionary and adds to Map Definition

    var listLabelClasses = lyrDefn.LabelClasses.ToList();

    CIMGeneralPlacementProperties labelEngine = MapView.Active.Map.GetDefinition().GeneralPlacementProperties;

    theLabelClass.MaplexLabelPlacementProperties.CanAbbreviateLabel = true;
    theLabelClass.MaplexLabelPlacementProperties.CanStackLabel = false;
    //Set the labelClasses back
