| SetPosition | Set node position. |
| Add | Add an element to this element's contentContainer |
| AddStyleSheetPath | Adds this stylesheet file to this element list of applied styles |
| BringToFront | Brings this element to the end of its parent children list. The element will be visually in front of any overlapping sibling elements. |
| Children | Returns the elements from its contentContainer |
| Clear | Remove all child elements from this element's contentContainer |
| Contains | Returns true if the element is a direct child of this VisualElement |
| ElementAt | Retrieves the child element at position |
| EnableInClassList | Enables or disables the class with the given name. |
| FindAncestorUserData | Searchs up the hierachy of this VisualElement and retrieves stored userData, if any is found. |
| FindCommonAncestor | Finds the lowest commont ancestor between two VisualElements inside the VisualTree hierarchy |
| GetEnumerator | Allows to iterate into this elements children |
| GetFirstAncestorOfType | Walks up the hierarchy, starting from this element's parent, and returns the first VisualElement of this type |
| GetFirstOfType | Walks up the hierarchy, starting from this element, and returns the first VisualElement of this type |
| GetFullHierarchicalPersistenceKey | Combine this VisualElement's VisualElement.persistenceKey with those of its parents to create a more unique key for use with VisualElement.GetOrCreatePersistentData. |
| GetOrCreatePersistentData | Takes a reference to an existing persisted object and a key and returns the object either filled with the persisted state or as-is. |
| HasStyleSheetPath | Checks if this stylesheet file is in this element list of applied styles |
| IndexOf | Retrieves the child index of the specified VisualElement. |
| Insert | Insert an element into this element's contentContainer |
| MarkDirtyRepaint | Triggers a repaint of the VisualElement on the next frame. |
| OnPersistentDataReady | Called when the persistent data is accessible and/or when the data or persistence key have changed (VisualElement is properly parented). |
| OverwriteFromPersistedData | Overwrite object from the persistent data store. |
| PlaceBehind | Places this element right before the sibling element in their parent children list. If the element and the sibling position overlap, the element will be visually behind of its sibling. |
| PlaceInFront | Places this element right after the sibling element in their parent children list. If the element and the sibling position overlap, the element will be visually in front of its sibling. |
| Remove | Removes this child from the hierarchy |
| RemoveAt | Remove the child element located at this position from this element's contentContainer |
| RemoveFromHierarchy | Removes this element from its parent hierarchy |
| RemoveStyleSheetPath | Removes this stylesheet file from this element list of applied styles |

| SendEvent | Sends an event to the event handler. |
| SendToBack | Sends this element to the beginning of its parent children list. The element will be visually behind any overlapping sibling elements. |
| SetEnabled | Changes whether the current VisualElement is enabled or not. When disabled, a VisualElement does not receive most events. |
| Sort | Reorders child elements from this VisualElement contentContainer. |
| ToggleInClassList | Toggles between adding and removing the given class name from the class list. |
