# contentRect(forFrameRect:)

Returns the window’s content rectangle with a given frame rectangle.

## Declaration

```swift
func contentRect(forFrameRect frameRect: NSRect) -> NSRect
```

## Parameters

- `frameRect`: The frame rectangle for the window expressed in screen coordinates.

## Return Value

Return Value The window’s content rectangle, expressed in screen coordinates, with frameRect.

## Discussion

Discussion The window uses its current style mask in computing the content rectangle. See NSWindow.StyleMask for a list of style mask values. The main advantage of this instance-method counterpart to contentRect(forFrameRect:styleMask:) is that it allows you to take toolbars into account when converting between content and frame rectangles. (The toolbar is not included in the content rectangle.)
