# drawCell(at:)

Displays the entry at the specified index.

```
func drawCell(at index: Int)
```

## Parameters

`index`

The index of the entry to draw.

## Discussion

Because this method is called automatically whenever a cell needs drawing, you never need to invoke it explicitly. It is included in the API so you can override it if you subclass `NSFormCell`.

## See Also

[`func indexOfCell(withTag: Int) -> Int`](/documentation/AppKit/NSForm/indexOfCell(withTag:))

[`func indexOfSelectedItem() -> Int`](/documentation/AppKit/NSForm/indexOfSelectedItem())

Returns the index of the selected entry.
