# showsProgressPanel

A Boolean value that determines whether the print operation displays a progress panel.

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

## Parameters

`flag`

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if you want to display a progress panel; otherwise, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

## Discussion

This method does not affect the display of a print panel; that operation is controlled by the [`showsPrintPanel`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPrintOperation/showsPrintPanel) method.

Operations that generate EPS or PDF data do no display a progress panel, regardless of the value in the `flag` parameter.
