'Usage
Dim instance As SelectionContainer

public interface SelectionContainer extends IEnumerable
Remarks
The SelectionContainer object is a generic selection-tracking object. There is one global selection object for the environment: DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer.
SelectedItems is a collection that represents individual ProjectItem objects, from which you can get the Project object. Because an item can offer a selection of an arbitrary object within its context, however, the SelectionContainer can represent any type of selected object.
Examples
Sub SelectionContainerExample()
Dim SelContain As SelectionContainer
Dim ContainerItem As SelectedItem
' Set references to the selection container and its selected item.
SelContain = DTE.SelectedItems.SelectionContainer
ContainerItem = DTE.SelectedItems.Item(1)
' Print the name of the container of the selected item.
MsgBox(ContainerItem.Name)
End Sub
