Performing map selection

About performing map selection

• SelectFeaturesScreenPoint—Selects features in the map based on a screen coordinate such as the coordinate obtained from a tool.
• SelectLayersFeatures—Selects features in a layer based on a Structured Query Language (SQL) WhereClause.
• SelectFeaturesPolygon—Performs a map selection based on a shape.
• ClearMapSelection—Clears the map selection.
• ClearLayerSelection—Clears a layer selection.
