# NSSpringLoadingHighlight

A group of constants that indicate a highlighting style for your app’s user interface to display during a spring-loading operation.

```
enum NSSpringLoadingHighlight
```

## Overview

The [`springLoadingHighlight`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingInfo/springLoadingHighlight) method provides one of these constant values.

Do not use highlighting as a means to determine whether spring-loading has actually been activated or deactivated. The [`springLoadingActivated(_:draggingInfo:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSSpringLoadingDestination/springLoadingActivated(_:draggingInfo:)) method alerts your app when spring-loading activation occurs.

## Topics

[`NSSpringLoadingHighlight.emphasized`](/documentation/AppKit/NSSpringLoadingHighlight/emphasized)
