# setAccessibilitySelectedRows(_:)

Sets the table’s currently selected rows.

```
optional func setAccessibilitySelectedRows(_ selectedRows: [any NSAccessibilityRow])
```

## Parameters

`selectedRows`

An array containing the row elements to be selected.

## Discussion

This method is the setter for the [`NSAccessibilityProtocol`](/documentation/AppKit/NSAccessibilityProtocol) protocol’s [`accessibilitySelectedRows`](/documentation/AppKit/NSAccessibility-c.protocol/accessibilitySelectedRows) property. Implementing this method allows the user to change the selected row using an accessibility client. Additionally, your class needs to send a [`selectedRowsChanged`](/documentation/AppKit/NSAccessibility-swift.struct/Notification/selectedRowsChanged) notification whenever the table’s selected rows change.
