# showsContentTypes

Whether or not to show a popup list for selecting the type of the saved file.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion The popup list shows the localized description for the types in allowedContentTypes. To display a different description, implement the delegate method -panel:displayNameForType:. The default value is NO, do not show the content types. Note: If allowedContentTypes is empty, the control is not displayed.
