# tableView(_:rowViewForRow:)

Asks the delegate for a view to display the specified row.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor optional func tableView(_ tableView: NSTableView, rowViewForRow row: Int) -> NSTableRowView?
```

## Parameters

- `tableView`: The table view that sent the message.
- `row`: The row index.

## Return Value

Return Value An instance or subclass of NSTableRowView. If nil is returned, an NSTableRowView instance will be created and used.

## Discussion

Discussion The delegate can implement this method to return a custom NSTableRowView for row. The reuse queue can be used in the same way as documented in tableView(_:viewFor:row:). The returned view will have attributes properly set to it before it’s added to the tableView. note: This method is only valid for NSView-based table views.
