## Discussion

Acquires the [`NSTableView`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTableView), copies it, invokes [`performClick(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSCell/performClick(_:)) or [`performClick(withFrame:in:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButtonCell/performClick(withFrame:in:)) (if the cell is an [`NSPopUpButtonCell`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButtonCell)), and then updates the data source, if required. This method does not do any checks to see if the cell is enabled.

> Note:
> This method is only available to ``doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSCell``-based table views.
