# objectValueOfSelectedItem

The object corresponding to the last item selected from the pop-up list.

## Declaration

```swift
var objectValueOfSelectedItem: Any? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is the object from the combo box’s internal item list corresponding to the last item selected from the pop-up list, or nil if no item is selected. Note that nothing is initially selected in a newly initialized combo box cell. Accessing this property logs a warning if usesDataSource is true.
