The active appearance expected of controls in a window.

```swift
var controlActiveState: ControlActiveState { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion ControlActiveState and EnvironmentValues.controlActiveState are deprecated, use EnvironmentValues.appearsActive instead. Starting with macOS 15.0, the value of this environment property is strictly mapped to and from EnvironmentValues.appearsActive as follows: appearsActive == true, controlActiveState returns .key appearsActive == false, controlActiveState returns .inactive controlActiveState is set to .key or .active, appearsActive will be set to true. controlActiveState is set to .inactive, appearsActive will be set to false.
