View

All upstream props work as documented in the React Native View reference. This page lists only what desktop adds or changes.

Desktop props

Name	Type	Behaviour
desktopDragRegion	boolean	Marks the view as part of a custom title bar: pressing it drags the window and double-clicking zooms or maximizes it. See Title bar.
focusable	boolean	Lets the view take keyboard focus. Required to receive onKeyDown, onKeyUp, onFocus and onBlur.
onFocus, onBlur	(event) => void	The view gained or lost keyboard focus. focusVisible is true when focus arrived through the keyboard. A focused view shows a ring for keyboard users, except a TextInput and a view that sets its own outlineColor and outlineWidth.
onKeyDown, onKeyUp	(event: KeyEvent) => void	A key was pressed or released while the view has focus. The event has key, code, keyCode, repeat and the modifier flags.
onContextMenu	(event: DesktopContextMenuEvent) => void	A context menu was requested: right click, Control + click on macOS, or the Menu key or Shift + F10 on Windows and Linux. See Context menus.
onPointerDown, onPointerUp, onPointerMove, onPointerEnter, onPointerLeave, onPointerOver, onPointerOut, onPointerCancel	(event: PointerEvent) => void	The pointer events of the web, for the mouse and trackpad, including buttons other than the left one and hovering. Each has a capturing variant. See Mouse and keyboard input.
tabIndex	number	Includes the view in, or excludes it from, keyboard tab navigation.

Differences

• On desktop a View with children and an opacity below 1 is painted into a picture of its own and faded, as on iOS and Android. needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing has no effect.
• hitSlop extends the area that starts a press. Hover and pointer moves are over the view itself, and an ancestor with overflow: 'hidden' clips the slop.
• Mobile-only accessibility props that name VoiceOver gestures work through the platform accessibility tree on each OS. Screen readers on Windows and Linux have not been validated.
