# selectedColumn

The index of the last selected column (or the last column added to the selection).

## Declaration

```swift
var selectedColumn: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When multiple columns are selected, this property contains only the index of the last one in the selection. If no column is selected, the value of this property is -1.
