[Visual Basic 6.0]
The following code creates a selection set using SelectDisplayTable, then reports the number of selected features. It is necessary to create a scratch workspace to use for the selection. This code only creates a selection set; it does not show the selection on the display. To see how to show the selection on the display, refer to IFeatureSelection.
Sub DisplayTableSelect()
  Dim pDoc As IMxDocument
  Dim pMap As IMap
  Dim pDisplayTable As IDisplayTable
  Dim pScratchWorkspace As IWorkspace
  Dim pScratchWorkspaceFact As IScratchWorkspaceFactory
  Dim pQF As IQueryFilter
  Dim pSelSet As ISelectionSet
  
  Set pDoc = Application.Document
  Set pMap = pDoc.FocusMap
  Set pDisplayTable = pMap.Layer(0)
  
  ' create scratch worksapce to use for the selection
  Set pScratchWorkspaceFact = New ScratchWorkspaceFactory
  Set pScratchWorkspace = pScratchWorkspaceFact.DefaultScratchWorkspace
  
  ' create the query filter
  Set pQF = New QueryFilter
  pQF.WhereClause = "CAPITAL = 'Y'"
  
  ' create the selection set and report using a message box
  Set pSelSet = pDisplayTable.SelectDisplayTable(pQF, esriSelectionTypeIDSet, esriSelectionOptionNormal, pScratchWorkspace)
  MsgBox pSelSet.Count
  
End Sub
