# selectRow(at:animated:scrollPosition:)

Selects a row in the table view that an index path identifies, optionally scrolling the row to a location in the table view.

```
func selectRow(at indexPath: IndexPath?, animated: Bool, scrollPosition: UITableView.ScrollPosition)
```

## Parameters

`indexPath`

An index path identifying a row in the table view.

`animated`

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if you want to animate the selection and any change in position; <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> if the change should be immediate.

`scrollPosition`

A constant that identifies a relative position in the table view (top, middle, bottom) for the row when scrolling concludes. See [`UITableView.ScrollPosition`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/ScrollPosition) for descriptions of valid constants.

## Discussion

Calling this method doesn’t cause the delegate to receive a [`tableView(_:willSelectRowAt:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableViewDelegate/tableView(_:willSelectRowAt:)) or [`tableView(_:didSelectRowAt:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableViewDelegate/tableView(_:didSelectRowAt:)) message, nor does it send [`selectionDidChangeNotification`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/selectionDidChangeNotification) notifications to observers.

### Special considerations

Passing [`UITableView.ScrollPosition.none`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/ScrollPosition/none) results in no scrolling, rather than the minimum scrolling described for that constant. To scroll to the newly selected row with minimum scrolling, select the row using this method with [`UITableView.ScrollPosition.none`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/ScrollPosition/none), then call [`scrollToRow(at:at:animated:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/scrollToRow(at:at:animated:)) with [`UITableView.ScrollPosition.none`](/documentation/UIKit/UITableView/ScrollPosition/none).

```objc
NSIndexPath *rowToSelect;  // assume this exists and is set properly
UITableView *myTableView;  // assume this exists
 
[myTableView selectRowAtIndexPath:rowToSelect animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
[myTableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:rowToSelect atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone animated:YES];
```
