# Hiding the toolbar in our PDF viewer

By modifying the [`ShowToolbar`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/maui/sdk/PSPDFKit.Sdk.PDFView.html#PSPDFKit_Sdk_PDFView_ShowToolbar) dependency property, you can easily control when the toolbar should be shown or hidden.

Update this property of [`PDFView`](https://www.nutrient.io/api/maui/sdk/PSPDFKit.Sdk.PDFView.html), and the toolbar will be shown when the property is set to `true` and hidden when set to `false`.

The following example toggles the `ShowToolbar` property between both states, so it’ll show it if it’s hidden and hide it if it’s visible:

```xml

<!-- MyPage.xaml -->...
<pspdfkit:PDFView x:Name="PDFView" Initialized="OnPDFViewInitialized"
                  ShowToolbar="{Binding ShouldShowToolbar}" />

<Button Text="Toggle Toolbar" Clicked="OnToggleToolbarClicked" />...

```

```csharp

// MyPage.xaml.cs...
private void OnToggleToolbarClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PDFView.ShowToolbar =!PDFView.ShowToolbar;
}...

```
