# setSelected(_:animated:)

Sets the selection state of the annotation view.

## Declaration

```swift
func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `selected`: Contains the value doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if the view displays in a selected state.
- `animated`: Set to doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if the map view animates the change in selection state.

## Discussion

Discussion Dont call this method directly. An MKMapView object calls this method in response to user interactions with the annotation.
