# contentView

The scroll view’s content view, the view that clips the document view.

## Declaration

```swift
var contentView: NSClipView { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Setting the value of this property to an NSClipView that has a document view also sets the scroll view’s document view to be the document view of that NSClipView. The original content view retains its document view.
