The Selected property may be absent in some objects listed in the Applies To section and may be present in other objects. This depends on the implementation of the IAccessible.State property on a particular object.
Do not confuse the selected and focused states:
-
The focused object is the currently active object, which has the input focus. To check if an object is focused, use the

A selected object is the one that is marked (for example, one of items selected in a list box). At that, a selected object may or may not be focused.
