# UIBandSelectionInteraction.State.began

A state that indicates the interaction object began a new interaction.

```
case began
```

## Discussion

The interaction object enters this state once at the beginning of each interaction, and subsequently transitions to the [`UIBandSelectionInteraction.State.selecting`](/documentation/UIKit/UIBandSelectionInteraction/State-swift.enum/selecting) or [`UIBandSelectionInteraction.State.ended`](/documentation/UIKit/UIBandSelectionInteraction/State-swift.enum/ended) state. When in this state, perform any one-time tasks that you need to manage your app’s state. For example, you might prepare your view to start the selection of items.
