# setObjectValue(_:)

Sets the receiver’s object value.

## Declaration

```swift
func setObjectValue(_ obj: (any NSCopying)?)
```

## Parameters

- `obj`: The new object value for the cell.

## Discussion

Discussion If setObjectValue: is called with an NSURL object, clickedPathComponentCell is automatically called. The objectValue method returns the most recently set URL value. The setObjectValue: method can also take a string value, with the items separated by the path separator (/). Any other value is a programming error and will cause an assertion.
