# sendDoubleAction()

Sends the double-click action message to the target of the receiver.

```
func sendDoubleAction()
```

## Discussion

If the receiver doesn’t have a double-click action, the double-click action message of the selected cell (as returned by [`selectedCell`](/documentation/AppKit/NSMatrix/selectedCell)) is sent to the selected cell’s target. Finally, if the selected cell also has no action, then the single-click action of the receiver is sent to the target of the receiver.

If the selected cell is disabled, this method does nothing.

Your code shouldn’t invoke this method; it’s sent in response to a double-click event in the [`NSMatrix`](/documentation/AppKit/NSMatrix). Override it if you need to change the search order for an action to send.
