Description

This property is primarily used to hide a Map's element selection in layout view unless a Map has been activated.

When in layout view, the PageLayout always has its ShowSelection set to true, setting it to false has no effect.  Similarly, when in data view, the focus Map always has its ShowSelection set to true and this cannot be overridden.
