# windowNibPath

The full path of the nib file that stores the window associated with the receiver.

## Declaration

```swift
var windowNibPath: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If init(windowNibPath:owner:) was used to initialize the instance, this property contains the path. If init(windowNibName:) or init(windowNibName:owner:) was used, windowNibPath locates the nib in the file’s owner’s class’ bundle or in the application’s main bundle and returns the full path (or nil if it cannot be located). Subclasses can override this behavior to augment the search behavior, but probably ought to call super first.
