```
var arrowPosition: NSPopUpButton.ArrowPosition { get set }
```

## Discussion

When the value of this property is [`NSPopUpButton.ArrowPosition.noArrow`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButton/ArrowPosition/noArrow), the control displays no arrow. [`NSPopUpButton.ArrowPosition.arrowAtCenter`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButton/ArrowPosition/arrowAtCenter) displays the arrow centered horizontally within the cell and  [`NSPopUpButton.ArrowPosition.arrowAtBottom`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButton/ArrowPosition/arrowAtBottom) displays the arrow at the edge of the cell. This property is used with [`preferredEdge`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPopUpButtonCell/preferredEdge) to determine the exact location and orientation of the arrow.

This property applies to only bezel style and borderless pop-up buttons.
