setting the selection with <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.design.selectiontypes#system-componentmodel-design-selectiontypes-replace">Replace</a>, which means the new selection replaces the old one entirely.</p>

<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method modifies the current selection based on the value of <code class="paramref">continuous</code>. If <code class="paramref">continuous</code> is <code>true</code>,
the specified object is added to the current selection, maintaining any existing selections. If <code class="paramref">continuous</code> is <code>false</code>,
the current selection is replaced with the specified object, making it the primary selection. This behavior aligns with the
<a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.design.selectiontypes#system-componentmodel-design-selectiontypes-primary">Primary</a> selection type.</p>
