# recognized

The gesture recognizer successfully recognized its gesture. It calls its action method at the next cycle of the run loop and resets its state to [`NSGestureRecognizer.State.possible`](/documentation/AppKit/NSGestureRecognizer/State-swift.enum/possible).

```
static var recognized: NSGestureRecognizer.State { get }
```
