# resetCursorRects()

Resets cursor rectangles so the cursor becomes an I-beam over text cells.

```
func resetCursorRects()
```

## Discussion

This method resets the cursor rectangles by sending [`resetCursorRect(_:in:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSCell/resetCursorRect(_:in:)) to each cell in the receiver. Any cell that has a cursor rectangle to set up should then send [`addCursorRect(_:cursor:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSView/addCursorRect(_:cursor:)) back to the receiver.

## See Also

[`func addCursorRect(NSRect, cursor: NSCursor)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSView/addCursorRect(_:cursor:))

Establishes  the cursor to be used when the mouse pointer lies within a specified region.

[`func resetCursorRect(NSRect, in: NSView)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSCell/resetCursorRect(_:in:))

Sets the receiver to show the I-beam cursor while it tracks the mouse.
