# springLoadingHighlight

A highlighting style for your app’s user interface to display during a spring-loading operation.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor var springLoadingHighlight: NSSpringLoadingHighlight { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion During a spring-loaded operation, a destination may initiate animated highlighting to visually cue the user that spring-loading has been engaged or disengaged. This property contains a highlight style of class NSSpringLoadingHighlight—no highlight, standard highlight, or emphasized highlight. Use this value to update your destination’s user interface accordingly to reflect the appropriate highlight style. important: Do not use highlighting as a means to determine whether spring-loading has actually been activated or deactivated. The springLoadingActivated(_:draggingInfo:) method alerts your app when spring-loading activation occurs.
