# setFrameUsingName(_:)

Sets the window’s frame rectangle by reading the rectangle data stored under a given name from the defaults system.

## Declaration

```swift
func setFrameUsingName(_ name: NSWindow.FrameAutosaveName) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `name`: The name of the frame to read.

## Return Value

Return Value true when name is read and the frame is set successfully; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion The frame is constrained according to the window’s minimum and maximum size settings. This method causes a windowWillResize(_:to:) message to be sent to the delegate.
