Use IContentsView to show or hide a view or to get or set selected items in a view. Selected items in the TOC's Display and Catalog View can include data frames, layers, legend groups, and legend classes. Additionally, standalone tables, workspaces, and datasets can be selected in the TOC's Catalog View. No items can be selected in the TOC's Selection view.
