'Usage

Remarks
If no items are selected in a view, or if only text is selected, then the GetSelectedNodes method returns an empty collection.
Note
The GetSelectedNodes method will not return nodes based on the current selection if used in the OnClick event of a button in the view, since the focus is lost from the control that is intended to be in context. To avoid this behavior, use the GetSelectedNodes method from a custom task pane, menu or toolbar.
