# enclosingScrollView

The nearest ancestor scroll view that contains the current view.

## Declaration

```swift
var enclosingScrollView: NSScrollView? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the current view is not embedded inside a scroll view, the value of this property is nil. This property does not contain the current view if the current view is itself a scroll view. It always contains an ancestor scroll view.
