# setTitle(_:)

Sets the string displayed in the receiver when the user isn’t pressing the mouse button.

```
func setTitle(_ string: String)
```

## Parameters

`string`

The string to display.

## Discussion

If the receiver displays a pop-up menu, this method changes the current item to be the item with the specified title, adding a new item by that name if one does not already exist. If the receiver displays a pull-down list, this method sets its title to the specified string.
