Cast ActiveGraphicsLayer to IGraphicsContainer and loop through the elements to validate if they are selected or not.Sub SelectionCount() Dim pMxDocument As IMxDocument Set pMxDocument = ThisDocument Dim gc As IGraphicsContainer Set gc = pMxDocument.FocusMap.ActiveGraphicsLayer Dim pGraphicsContainerSelect As IGraphicsContainerSelect Set pGraphicsContainerSelect = gc gc.Reset Dim elem As IElement Set elem = gc.Next() Dim x As Integer x = 0 Do While Not elem Is Nothing If (pGraphicsContainerSelect.ElementSelected(elem) = True) Then x = x + 1 End If Set elem = gc.Next() Loop MsgBox pMxDocument.FocusMap.ActiveGraphicsLayer.Name & " is selected" & x & " elements" pMxDocument.ActiveView.RefreshEnd Sub
