# setOnMouseExited(_:)

Sets whether the receiver accepts mouseExited(with:) events.

## Declaration

```swift
func setOnMouseExited(_ flag: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `flag`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if the receiver accepts future doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSCursor/mouseExited(with:) event messages; otherwise it ignores them.

## Discussion

Discussion Accepting mouseExited(with:) event messages allows the cursor to be made the current cursor when the cursor exits a view’s cursor rectangle.
