# takeSelectedIndexFrom(_:)

Navigates to the selected index, which is taken from the sender.

```
@IBAction func takeSelectedIndexFrom(_ sender: Any?)
```

## Parameters

`sender`

The control that invoked the action.

## Discussion

When invoked, this method causes the page controller’s view to display the object specified by the value taken from the `sender` control.

This method is animated and invokes the delegate’s [`pageControllerWillStartLiveTransition(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPageControllerDelegate/pageControllerWillStartLiveTransition(_:)) and [`pageControllerDidEndLiveTransition(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPageControllerDelegate/pageControllerDidEndLiveTransition(_:)) methods.
