# showsProgressPanel

A Boolean value that determines whether the print operation displays a progress panel.

## Declaration

```swift
var showsProgressPanel: Bool { get set }
```

## Parameters

- `flag`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if you want to display a progress panel; otherwise, doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method does not affect the display of a print panel; that operation is controlled by the showsPrintPanel method. Operations that generate EPS or PDF data do no display a progress panel, regardless of the value in the flag parameter.
