# setSelected(_:animated:)

Sets the selection state of the annotation view.

```
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

Dont call this method directly. An [`MKMapView`](/documentation/MapKit/MKMapView) object calls this method in response to user interactions with the annotation.

## See Also

[`selectAnnotation(_:animated:)`](/documentation/MapKit/MKMapView/selectAnnotation(_:animated:))

Selects the specified annotation and displays a callout view for it.
