    Polyline inside and tangent to polyline

    Hi all,
    I need to be able to understand if a poly is contained inside another
    poly. I'm using SelectByPolygon with acSelectionSetCrossingPolygon
    option. The problem is that in this way an external poly tangent to
    another one is considered inside.
    I try to explain the problem better.
    Let's say you have poly A, which contains and share a side with poly B.
    Poly A is also tangent to an external poly C. Well, the selection
    acSelectionSetCrossingPolygon poly A will contain poly B and C and not
    only B. How can I understand if a poly is really contained and not only
    tanget to another one?
    Thanks.

    Use acSelectionSetWindowPolygon

    Thanks for the answer but using acSelectionSetWindowPolygon will not
    select an internal poly which is tangent to the container poly.
    Referring to my previous example, B would not be present in the
    selection.
