# isBordered

A Boolean value that indicates whether the toolbar item has a bordered style.

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

## Discussion

If your toolbar item displays a custom view, modifying this property applies the image to the view’s [`isBordered`](/documentation/AppKit/NSToolbarItem/isBordered) property, if one exists. The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

> Note:
> In macOS 12 and earlier, ``doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSToolbarItem`` doesn’t support custom views in Mac apps built with Mac Catalyst.
