# defaultFocusRingType

Returns the default focus ring type.

```
class var defaultFocusRingType: NSFocusRingType { get }
```

## Return Value

The default type of focus ring for objects of the view’s class. Possible return values are listed in [`NSFocusRingType`](/documentation/AppKit/NSFocusRingType).

## Discussion

If the value in the [`focusRingType`](/documentation/AppKit/NSView/focusRingType) property is [`NSFocusRingType.default`](/documentation/AppKit/NSFocusRingType/default), the view can call this class method to find out what type of focus ring is the default. The view is free to ignore the default setting.
