Remarks

SelectByShape searches for features in all layers of type IFeatureLayer, that are intersected by the input shape.  Each layer is searched only if its IFeatureLayer::Selectable property is set to TRUE. 

The ISelectionEnvironment parameter determines the selection outcome.  For example, a new selection may be created or the features found may be added to the existing feature selection.  See the esriSelectionOption enumeration for the different selection options.  The application's selection environment is available via IMxApplication::SelectionEnvironment.

The justOne parameter tells the search to stop once it has found one feature.

After the search is complete, IActiveViewEvents::SelectionChanged is called to notify all listeners the selection has changed.
