# view

The content view for the menu item.

## Declaration

```swift
var view: NSView? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A menu item with a view does not draw its title, state, font, or other standard drawing attributes, and assigns drawing responsibility entirely to the view. Keyboard equivalents and type-select continue to use the key equivalent and title as normal. For more information, see NSMenuItem. By default, a menu item has a nil view.
