# synchronizeTitleAndSelectedItem()

Synchronizes the pop-up button’s displayed item with the currently selected menu item.

## Declaration

```swift
func synchronizeTitleAndSelectedItem()
```

## Discussion

Discussion If no item is currently selected, this method synchronizes the pop-up buttons displayed item with the first menu item. If the pop-up button cell does not get its displayed item from a menu item, this method does nothing. For pull-down menus, this method sets the displayed item to the title first menu item. If the pop-up button’s menu does not contain any menu items, this method sets the pop-up button’s displayed item to nil, resulting in nothing being displayed in the control.
