# commitEditing(withDelegate:didCommit:contextInfo:)

Attempt to commit any currently edited results of the receiver.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor func commitEditing(withDelegate delegate: Any?, didCommit didCommitSelector: Selector?, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?)
```

## Parameters

- `delegate`: An object that can serve as the receiver’s delegate. It should implement the method specified by didCommitSelector.
- `didCommitSelector`: A selector that is invoked on delegate.
- `contextInfo`: Contextual information that is sent as the contextInfo argument to delegate when didCommitSelector is invoked.

## Discussion

Discussion The receiver must have been registered as the editor of an object using objectDidBeginEditing:, and has not yet been unregistered by a subsequent invocation of objectDidEndEditing:. When the committing has either succeeded or failed, send the delegate the message specified by didCommitSelector. The didCommitSelector method must have the following method signature:. - (void)editor:(id)editor didCommit:(BOOL)didCommit contextInfo:(void  *)contextInfo If an error occurs while attempting to commit, for example if key-value coding validation fails, an implementation of this method should typically send the receiver’s view apresentError(_:modalFor:delegate:didPresent:contextInfo:) message, specifying the view’s containing window. You may find this method useful in some situations when you want to ensure that pending changes are applied before a change in user interface state. For example, you may need to ensure that changes pending in a text field are applied before a window is closed. See also commitEditing() which performs a similar function but which allows you to handle any errors directly, although it provides no information beyond simple success/failure.
