# scrollViewShouldScrollToTop(_:)

Asks the delegate if the scroll view should scroll to the top of the content.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func scrollViewShouldScrollToTop(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `scrollView`: The scroll-view object requesting this information.

## Return Value

Return Value true to permit scrolling to the top of the content, false to disallow it.

## Discussion

Discussion If the delegate doesn’t implement this method, true is assumed. For the scroll-to-top gesture (a tap on the status bar) to be effective, the scrollsToTop property of the UIScrollView must be set to true.
