# selectedSegment

The index of the selected segment of the control, or -1 if no segment is selected.

## Declaration

```swift
var selectedSegment: Int { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the control allows multiple selections, this property contains the most recently selected segment. If the index is out of bounds, an exception (rangeException) is raised.
