How to change selection color for a feature layer

[AndreaV]

Hi, is there any way to change selection color for a feature layer in Python without setting this using a lyr?

Thank's in advance.

I don't see the selection symbol being exposed in the arcpy.mapping.Layer object. so I guess the answer is No.

You could do a workaround by setting the selection symbol, saving to a .lyr file, and loading the layer and setting the source using arcpy.mapping. This is really the only way to mess with things not exposed as arcpy.mapping object methods.

Ok, so I have no chance to set directly. Thank you for the workaround.
