# selectNext(_:)

Selects the next object, relative to the current selection, in the receiver’s arranged content.

## Declaration

```swift
@IBAction func selectNext(_ sender: Any?)
```

## Discussion

Discussion The sender is typically the object that invoked this method. Special Considerations Beginning with OS X v10.4 the result of this method is deferred until the next iteration of the runloop so that the error presentation mechanism (see Error Responders and Error Recovery) can provide feedback as a sheet.
