# focusRingType

The type of focus ring to use with the associated view.

```
var focusRingType: NSFocusRingType { get set }
```

## Discussion

You can disable a view’s focus ring drawing by setting this property to [`NSFocusRingType.none`](/documentation/AppKit/NSFocusRingType/none). The only times you should disable focus ring drawing are when you want to draw your own focus ring or when there is insufficient space to display a focus ring in the default location.
