# pointerStyleProvider

A block that returns the pointer style to use when the pointer hovers over the button.

## Declaration

```occ
@property (nonatomic, copy, readwrite, nullable) UIButtonPointerStyleProvider pointerStyleProvider;
```

## Discussion

Discussion To change the appearance of the pointer when it hovers over the button, create a UIButtonPointerStyleProvider block that returns a UIPointerStyle describing the pointer shape and content effect. Then assign the closure to pointerStyleProvider. For more information, see Enhancing your iPad app with pointer interactions.
