# isTabBarVisible

A Boolean value indicating whether the tabbed window group currently displays a tab bar.

```
var isTabBarVisible: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Typically, a tabbed window displays a tab bar if there is more than one window in the tabbing group. The tab bar can also be manually toggled using the [`toggleTabBar(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSWindow/toggleTabBar(_:)) method.
