# hasFullSizeContent

A Boolean value that indicates whether the content view of the popover extends into the arrow region.

```
var hasFullSizeContent: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Setting the value of this property to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> extends the frame of the content view by the height of the arrow region on all four sides of the frame. This causes the [`contentViewController`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopover/contentViewController) view to extend to the window’s bounds.

Use the [`safeAreaLayoutGuide`](/documentation/AppKit/NSView/safeAreaLayoutGuide) of the [`contentViewController`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopover/contentViewController) view to ensure that your content is fully visible and doesn’t become clipped when displayed.

Setting this value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> doesn’t extend the [`contentViewController`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopover/contentViewController) view fully into the arrow region. The default value for this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
