# isAutodisplay

A Boolean value that indicates whether the window automatically displays views that need to be displayed.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is true when the window automatically displays views that need to be displayed; otherwise, false. If autodisplay is false, the window or its views must be explicitly displayed. Automatic display typically occurs on each pass through the event loop.
