# focusRingType

The type of focus ring to use with the associated view.

## Declaration

```swift
var focusRingType: NSFocusRingType { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion You can disable a view’s focus ring drawing by setting this property to NSFocusRingType.none. The only times you should disable focus ring drawing are when you want to draw your own focus ring or when there is insufficient space to display a focus ring in the default location.
