# allowsFocus

A Boolean value that determines whether the table view allows its cells to become focused.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsFocus: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If you implement tableView(_:canFocusRowAt:), its return value takes precedence over the value of this property. The system determines the default value of this property according to the platform and other properties of the table view.
