# isShown

The display state of the popover.

## Declaration

```swift
var isShown: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value is true if the popover is being shown, false otherwise. The popover is considered to be shown from the point when show(relativeTo:of:preferredEdge:) is invoked. A popover is considered closed in response to an invocation of either close() or performClose(_:).
