A user's map may comprise one or more Map objects. Each Map object typically holds layers of data as well as several MapSurround objects such as a Legend. This property returns an IMap reference to the Map object that currently has focus. In ArcMap, the focus map is the one visible in data view and the one selected in layout view.
Changing the focus map fires the IActiveViewEvents::FocusMapChanged event. In ArcMap, the focus map is automatically set to any new Map added.
IMxDocument::FocusMap is a read-only short cut to this property.
