# indexOfItem(withTarget:andAction:)

Returns the index of the menu item with the specified target and action.

## Declaration

```swift
func indexOfItem(withTarget target: Any?, andAction actionSelector: Selector?) -> Int
```

## Parameters

- `target`: The target object associated with the menu item.
- `actionSelector`: The action method associated with the menu item.

## Return Value

Return Value The index of the menu item, or -1 if no menu item contains the specified target and action.

## Discussion

Discussion If you specify NULL for the actionSelector parameter, the index of the first menu item with the specified target is returned. The NSPopUpButtonCell class assigns a default action and target to each menu item, but you can change these values using the setAction: and setTarget: methods of NSMenuItem.
